Schoology Integration Guide

Students are automatically registered through the External Tool.
Students no longer must be registered through iCEVonline.com (iCEV).
Individual teachers should opt to use either iCEV or the External Tool; not both.
If the External Tool will be used and iCEV has been used; please hide all the lessons in iCEV.
- This will minimize confusion of the students.
- This will make it easier to find the students’ grades.
The External Tool and iCEV are two different accounts.
- Settings changed in one account do not affect the other account and vice-versa.
NOTE: When students send their work; they are shown a “Detailed Summary” page.
- This page shows the question, their answer, and the correct answer.
  - This page cannot be turned off or hidden.
- This page also acts as a receipt; it is a confirmation that iCEV has received the submission, graded the submission, and sent the grade back to Schoology.
Grades will only show in the Schoology gradebook while the External Tool is being used.
- Grades are no longer available through the iCEV Course / Lesson Grades reporting tool.
- The “Highest” scored grade will be passed back to the Schoology gradebook.

Please consider:

Multiple internet filters and firewalls.
Different settings for wired and wireless technology devices.
Software on technology devices that act as an internet filter or firewall.

This error message appears if the internet or network is running slowly or is unstable.

Step 1

Yes, Schoology will automatically covert our grade scaling to your grading scale. You control this by the point value assigned to the Schoology external tool assignment.

1. Have the student go back to the assignment that is missing the grade.

2. Have the student click the text that says “Summary”.

Double-check the point value for the Schoology external tool assignment and that the value is something other than zero (0). If it is set to zero (0), set the point value to something different and have the students re-submit the assignment.

After the steps above have been performed; have the students follow the directions in “Some student grades are missing what can be done?”

Most likely this scenario has happened:

1. The student opens Assignment “A” and tries few questions.

2. The student then opens Assignment “B” in a new tab or window on the same browser.

3. The student moves back to Assignment “A” and sends the assignment.

In this scenario, scores will appear under Assignment “B” rather than Assignment “A” because scores are sent back for the last opened assignment (Assignment “B” in this case) on the browser as the session is updated.

1. Go into the Course

2. Go into Gradebook

3. Click the three dots next to the assignment name

4. Click the three dots
