Cross Listing in Schoology
Things to Know
- English ESL courses are combined down to grade level/English level. If teachers want them to be combined across grade levels then they need to submit a Service Desk Request
- If Fine Arts wants courses combined across types (i.e. Theater Arts and Theater Production) please submit Service Desk Request
- All Service Desk Requests submitted before Aug 29 have been processed. Angela is working through the others still.
Here are the directions for Section Linking so you can further link your courses. Please remember that the admins in all courses must be the same in order to link the courses together.
Setting Schoology Co-Teacher Permissions
Teachers of record now have the ability to define what a co-teacher in a class has the ability to view and access. This means that an SF could have the ability to view materials in the course but not grades in the course. Permissions are up to the teacher of record to set. Please see directions HERE and learn more about this feature.
Secure Assessments With Schoology
Prior to this year, Schoology didn’t have a password feature for assessments, so we last year we used a feature of Respondus that was really just a work around--and it was a bit quirky. We still recommend using Respondus for locking down your test, but you should not use it to set the student password—use the new Schoology feature instead.
This is a feature of the Assessment tool--Not the Test/Quiz tool. You can convert Tests/Quizzes in Resources to Assessments using these instructions and considerations.
This year, Schoology has a feature that allows teachers to enable a password requirement for students to enter before beginning a test. Schoology now makes it easier to set passwords and access for your different class periods. Here is a guide that will explain how to secure assessments with Schoology as well as how to provide Oral Accommodations for students.
