 Discussions are a great way to build community in your classroom.  This solution will show you how to create and manage a discussion.  There are also videos with suggestions on how to use discussions to support learning.

 Read the article below in its entirety to understand how to create, manage and grade Discussions in your Schoology Courses, or use the links below to jump to specific topics:

 Creating Discussions
 Sharing Discussions
 Reading Discussion Posts
 Grading Discussion Posts

 Creating Discussions
 You can create an interactive Discussion for your students. Each Discussion has threaded commenting that allows students to respond to any post by another student. These comments can also be moderated, which will require a Course Admin (the teacher) to approve each post before it is published. Deleted posts will are listed under Moderate Posts in the Course Options in the left column of the Course Profile.
 To create a discussion, follow these steps:

 Click Add Materials
 Select Add Discussion.

 Fill out the Discussion form.
 Enter a Description (optional instructions for the Discussion).
 To have the Discussion appear in the Upcoming feed, enter a Due Date. If you do not enter a Due Date, the Discussion will remain accessible in the Discussions index or Course Folder.
 To make the Discussion a graded item, check Enable Grading and adjust the grading preferences.

Options
 Use Individually Assign (Enterprise only) to only display the discussion to a specific member of a course or a grading group.
 Add Learning Objectives to add a custom learning objective, common core, or state standard. Once you have aligned your material with learning objectives, use the Mastery tool to track your students' progress.

Lock prevents students from posting in the discussion. You may want to lock the discussion after the due date has passed.

Published enables you to display or hide the discussion from your students.

Members can see other responses before participating: You can decide if students are able to see their peers' responses before they post. If this is enabled, the other students' posts will be greyed out: You may choose this option to encourage originality in your students' posts.

Shared Discussion: Enables sharing the discussion with other courses. Shared discussions cannot be graded.

Copy to Course: Click this to simultaneously create this discussion in another section you administer

 Click Create to complete.

Note: Discussions can also be created within course folders, or added to folders after their creation.

 Sharing Discussions
 Click Here to see our article on Shared Discussions
 You can share your ungraded discussion with other courses. This option is located in the Advanced options at the bottom of the popup window when creating a discussion.

 Sharing the discussion will give the discussion a ShareID that other instructors can use to join their classes into the same discussion. You can also automatically share the discussion with your courses and sections.
 Limitations of Shared Discussions:

 If you do not see the option to share the discussion under Advanced, it is likely that Grading is enabled. Graded discussions cannot be shared with other courses.
 You cannot share discussions after they have been created.
 Shared discussions are not available across linked sections.

 Back to top
 Reading Discussion Posts
 Course admins and students see the discussion toolbar, which floats at the top of the discussion as you scroll through the posts.

 The toolbar includes the following tools:
 Post Count and Unread Posts

 The Post Count displays the total number of posts and replies on the discussion. The Unread Posts displays the number of posts and replies that have been added since you last loaded the page.

Note: Opening a discussion on the mobile app does not affect the Unread Posts count. Posts that you read while logged into the Schoology mobile app will still be marked as unread the next time you log in to the web version.
 Unread Posts are highlighted in orange on the right side of the post, such as in the example below:

 Expand All and Collapse All

 On very long discussions, you may find it useful to use Collapse All to make the page easier to scan and to find posts more quickly. Clicking Collapse All truncates all posts and hides all replies to each post.
 To expand the text on a particular post, click Read More next to where the post is truncated.
 To show the replies on a particular post, click View Replies below the post.
 To display all posts and all replies, click Expand All.
 Scroll to Top

 When you are finished reading the latest posts by your students, you can quickly jump back to the top of the discussion in one click by clicking the Scroll to Top icon in the toolbar:

 Formatting Posts
 Sometimes, students opt to draft their discussion posts in another program  such as Microsoft Word or another text editor  and then copy and paste the response into the Schoology discussions post field. Copying and pasting can sometimes bring in unwanted formatting from another program. If this happens, encourage your students to use the new Remove Formatting button in the post field.

 Grading Discussion Posts
 Highlight User

 Click Highlight User to filter posts by author. Clicking Highlight User displays a list of members in the course, accompanied by the number of posts each member has contributed to this discussion. The total posts appear in green, and the number of posts you have not yet read appears in orange. Students who have not yet posted to the discussion appear at the bottom of the drop-down menu under Not Submitted.

 Selecting a student from the drop-down menu highlights all of the posts that student has created in this discussion, allowing you to see all of the discussion posts by a particular student at a glance.
 Unread Posts
 Discussions are one of the most dynamic course material types on Schoology. To help you stay organized and keep track of the posts you havent seen yet while grading students posts to a discussion, you can now see the number of unread posts on a discussion right from the Course Materials page. The number of unread posts appears in orange next to the discussions title.

 Administering Discussions
 Course Admins have a star icon next to their names on discussion posts. This helps students see at a glance which posts may be directions or feedback from the instructor, and which are from their fellow students.

 To delete or edit students' posts:

 Hover to the far right of the post and click the three vertical dots.
 Click Edit or Delete.
 Click Delete to confirm or enter your change and click Save Changes.

 Grading
 Students who have not yet received a grade for the discussion have the grading button and orange indicator next to their post.

 Clicking the grading button brings up the grading window, where you are able to enter a grade and a comment for the student. This grade applies to all of the students' posts on the discussion, not just the one you have selected.

 Video Transcript:
 The video "Creating and Using Question Banks in Schoology" by Jonson (RVHS), uploaded on December 19, 2012, is a tutorial on how to effectively create and utilize question banks in Schoology. The video is 232 seconds long and covers the following key points:

Creating a Quiz Bank: A quiz bank is created in the resource area, either under personal resources or within a group's resources. Teachers can store numerous test questions here for later use in specific tests.

Sharing Collections: Collections like 'Quiz Banks' can be created and shared with other instructors who might contribute questions to the bank.

Adding Questions: Questions can be composed directly within the bank or existing quiz questions from courses can be imported.

Importing Existing Questions: To import questions, navigate to an existing quiz, go to the questions tab, and use the options button to add selected questions to the quiz bank.

Using Questions from the Bank in Quizzes: To create a quiz from the question bank, navigate to the appropriate course and folder, add an online test or quiz, and then pull in questions from the question bank. You can select all questions, choose individual questions manually, or have Schoology randomly select a set number of questions.

Finalizing the Quiz: After adding questions, adjust the maximum points for the quiz, and set other necessary settings like randomizing question order and making the quiz available to students.

 The video aims to assist educators in efficiently managing test questions and creating quizzes in Schoology, thereby streamlining the assessment process.

 Aliases: period, grading period, grading columns, grades, feature flag, courses.

 Issue: Teachers report that they can't set due dates (it is greyed out) for added grading columns in the Schoology Gradebook.

 Solution: There are 2 parts of the solution.
 1) All assignments have to have a Due Date. If you see assignments without a due date ask the teacher to set that.

 2) The due date can be activated through a feature flag that is controlled by the Schoology support team. They are the only ones that can do that. So, have the Help Desk (or a Schoology Support Contact for the district) contact support and ask them to enable it for a particular school. This setting can be activated for individual schools or the whole district.

 After Schoology support enables this setting, the due dates on a Gradin Column should look like this:

 Information to know
 Corresponding PowerSchool Courses are archived, not deleted, a few days after the end of the term or school year. Course tiles for the ending term will no longer appear in the drop down menu and will be moved from the My Courses > Current list to the Archived list. See  Archived Courses for more information.

 You do not need to do anything special at the end of the term/year to keep your courses or materials.  You will always be able to access previous courses in the Archived listing.
 Finalizing Feedback, Grading, and Reports

  Finalize feedback to assignments and grades as needed. See Adding Feedback & Grade Comment for more information.
  Use Bulk Edit to review and/or update publishing, category, points, due dates, and grading period. See Bulk Edit for more information.
  Review and decide which assignments may need to have submissions disabled or locked. See Disable Submissions VS Locking Submissions for more information.

 Check to make sure all grades are published and up to date.

  You may have set some of your materials to Unpublished throughout the school year to prevent students from accessing those items. Unpublishing an item also removes the item from students' final grade report that is visible to them in Schoology. If you have unpublished an item to prevent students from accessing it, but you want the received grades for that item to factor into the student's calculated overall grade, you must re-publish the material(s). See Final Grades and Unpublishing Material on Schoology/PowerSchool for more information.
  Careful: If you used the Copy Settings button to transfer the settings from a similar course, final grade settings are not copied with the Copy Settings option.  The Final Grade settings must be configured individually for each course section. See Final Grades for more information.
  Add grades for items not completed in Schoology. See Add Grade Column or Disable Submissions on Assignments for more information.

  Secondary teachers, check to ensure grade data for assignments and final grades have correctly synced from Schoology to PowerTeacher Pro. See Syncing Schoology Grades with PowerTeacher Pro for more information and/or request support from a Digital Learning Coach through a Service Central ticket.
  Exporting the Gradebook as a backup and/or to share with next term teachers is an option at the end of the term/year. See Final Grades for more information.
  Grades added to Archived Courses after the term ends, will not be reflected in or synced to PowerTeacher Pro. Teachers would need to modify their data in PowerTeacher Pro.
  Print Student Grade Reports as needed.

   Optional Student Grade Reports can be printed on paper or saved and shared as a PDF as necessary. See Print Grade Reports for more information.

 Review Your Courses and Prepare for Next Term/Year

 At the end of the term/year, you may wish to save your course and its contents to Resources to allow easy access from a new course. See Save Courses to Resources for more information.
   *Note tips for saving Google Drive Assignment Button items in Save Courses to Resources

 Consider the following scenarios for steps on how to save and reuse your course materials:

 Im teaching the same course at the same school again next year.
   How do I save and reuse my materials?

 Im leaving my current school/organization/department.
   How do I share my materials with the instructor who is taking my place?

 I am leaving my current school/organization/department.
   How do I take my materials with me? Recording illustrating process

 Cleaning up your My Courses list:
   NEVER delete a course from the My Courses list. Deleting the course deletes it for ALL members. Instead, unenroll yourself from the course.

  Schoology courses will be created and populated through PowerSchool in August. Students will appear in the Schoology course members list within 24 hours of being enrolled in PowerSchool.
  You will be able to add or import content to courses from Resources or Archived Course once you see courses in the Schoology Courses dropdown or My Courses listing.

 You can update and organize your material templates directly in Resources at any time.
   *Note items in Resources are static, changes made to items in Resources are NOT transferred to that item located out in a course. If you make a change to a material template in Resources, you will need to re-Add to Course to see the update in the course.

 You can copy grade settings from Archived Courses for consistency and to save time.
   Save Rubrics for use in other courses

   Archiving Staff Created Courses - The ability to create, edit grading period, and delete staff created courses is only enabled for short periods of time at the beginning of a term. You can archive a course by editing course info to a past grading period during the open time or submit a Service Central ticket.
 Access to Groups and Support Materials
   Grade Level/Department Groups in Schoology are a great source for standards, frameworks information and support materials. See Access Groups in Schoology for more information on how to join and leave a group.

   If you no longer need to be a member of a Group, you can Leave this Group yourself, no need to ask someone!

 You are able to Publish or Unpublish items in Schoology. Publish items will be visible to students.  Unpublished items are visible to course administrators but not students (members) and will be grayed out.
 The Publish icon is a green circle located in the Options area of a material type:

 Using Folder Availability
 Folder Availability can be set to Published, Unpublished, Publish on start date, or Published during date range, giving you greater control over when the folder (and its material) is available to students. This way, you can create material ahead of time but keep it hidden from students until you are ready to cover the material.
 If a folder is Unpublished, neither the folder nor its contents will be accessible to students. If it is set to Publish on start date or Published during date range, the folder and its contents will only be visible to students after or during the specified dates.
 To adjust these settings, follow these steps:

 Select the Materials tab from the left menu in the Course Profile.
 In the folder that you wish to modify, click the gear icon  to the right and select Edit.
 In the Availability menu, choose Published, Unpublished, Publish on start date, or Published during date range.
 If you choose one of the latter two options, choose the appropriate dates in the calendars in the Date row.
 Click Save Changes to complete.

Note: The date and time of availability follow the user's time zone. If a student of a course has a different time zone than your settings, the folder will be available according to the date and time of the student's time zone. You can change your time zone in your personal Account Settings.

[Assistant]
 Keywords: courses, linking, link, new course with linked sections
 Aliases: Schoology
 WARNING: Before linking sections for any course, please make sure you understand ALL of the information and results of linking sections. If this is the first time you are using Schoology, you should work alongside a colleague and/or DLI instructional facilitator or digital learning coach to ensure you have worked through all the possible pitfalls and are set up for success.
 Linking Your Sections
 If you use Schoology Enterprise, you have the option to link the sections of any course together. Course section linking is a great way to manage all sections of a course more efficiently.
 When sections are linked, they all share the same set of materials and grade setup. This means you only need to create materials and set up your gradebook once, even when you teach multiple sections of the same course. Linked sections also have toggles you can use to switch between each section instantly, so you can keep the sections separate while enjoying a more streamlined workflow.
 The linked sections feature was designed to improve the instructor's experience. Your students will continue to see and experience Schoology in the same way they always have.

Important Notes about Course Section Linking:
 Depending on the settings in place at your organization, this feature may not be available.
 Linked sections cannot be imported into Schoology, sections can only be linked after being created/populated in Schoology.

Schoology strongly advises against linking or unlinking sections once school has started, as it results in loss of grade data for child sections. When you begin linking sessions together, the master section is the one that you link other sections to. Those sections that are linked to the master section will set aside any existing materials, grade settings, and data. The child linked sections then replace any existing materials and grade setup with that of the master section.
 If you need to unlink your linked sections at any point during the school year, be aware that if you separate two linked sections, only the master section retains the materials, setup, grades, and data. Scroll down to Unlinking Sections for additional information.
 When you link or unlink sections, student assignment submissions in the child section(s) are not recoverable. As a safeguard against losing grade data for child sections, you are prompted to download a CSV spreadsheet file containing all the grade data for child sections. See the Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections instructions below for details.

 Requirements for linking sections of a course:

 The sections must be within the same Course.
 The sections must be associated with the same grading period.
 Enrollment must be unique across the linked sections. There cannot be any overlap in the students.
 The sections must have the same Course Admins.

Note:
 You cannot link one set of linked sections to another set of linked sections. For example, if you have two sets of linked sections (English: Section 1, Section 2 and English: Section 3, Section 4), you cannot combine them to make one linked set (English: Section 1, Section 2, Section 3, Section 4)

 The maximum number of sections to be linked is 10.

 How to Link Sections
 If you are a course admin who has the Link sections permission enabled by your system admin, and your sections meet the prerequisites outlined above, you can link your existing sections together by following these steps.
 There are three different ways to create linked sections:
 Linking Existing Sections Together
  Click your Courses drop-down menu and and select My Courses.  Steps 2-7 demonstrated below

 In your list of courses, click the gear icon to the right of the section you consider to be the "master section". If you have materials in both courses, the "master section" is the one that holds the materials and grades you would like to continue to use between the two sections.
 Select Link Existing Sections from the dropddown.
 Select the section(s) to link and click Next.
 As a safeguard against losing grade data for child sections, you must select to download a grade export file for each section being linked. See the "Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections" instructions below for details.
 Select the file type to download:
 As a Standard CSV spreadsheet.
 As a CSV file that you can use to import into other systems, such as an SIS.

 Click Download and Next.
 Click Link Sections.
 A warning message displays:  "Materials from (section name) will not be copied into: (section name). Once complete, the sections will share: grade setup, materials, and course profile (of the destination section). Member enrollments will still belong to their respective sections."

 Assigning roles within a course
 To assign an override role to a member in a section you administer:

Navigate to the Members page of the section.

 Click the gear icon to the right of a users name.

Select Make Admin from the drop-down menu.

 At this point, the user is a course admin with organization-level permissions controlling what they can do in Schoology and this course section.
 After the user is an admin, click the gear icon again.

Youll see a new option, Set Section-level Role.

 Click on this to see the section override role options.
 A pop-up appears showing the options to either keep the users organization-level role or to assign a section-level role.

Click Save to apply any changes.

 Icons
 In Schoology, the shield icon is used to indicate admin status in a course or group. However, if your Enterprise organization has enabled the Section Override Roles feature, you may see different icons:

The shield-with-star icon, indicating that a user is a course admin and their organization-level role permissions apply within that section. This icon also applies to group admins.

The blank shield icon, indicating that a user is a course admin with a section override role assigned in that section.

 For example, in the screenshot below, the user is course admin with an organization-level role and permissions in Math 5: Section 2. In Math 5: Section 3, a blank shield icon indicates that a section override role is in place that overrides the user's organization-level role and permissions.

 ASSIGNING SECTION OVERRIDE ROLES (ENTERPRISE INSTRUCTORS)
 Follow

 Section override roles give course administrators the ability to empower a co-teacher, teaching assistant, paraprofessional, or substitute teacher, to name just a few examples, with section-specific permissions that may be different than the global permissions they have with their organization-level role (such as teacher or student).

 There are six default categories that cover many likely role scenarios:

 Role Name
 May be great for...

 Edit Grades / Edit Materials

 Co-Teacher
 Special Education Co-administrator
 Substitute Teacher (Long Term)

 Edit Grades / View Materials
  Teaching Assistant

 View Grades / Edit Materials

 Teacher Advisor
 Grade-Level Lead

 View Grades / View Materials

 Principal
 Mentor teacher
 Student Teacher

 No Grades / Edit Materials

 Curriculum team
 Office Managers

 No Grades / View Materials

 Paraprofessionals
 Substitute Teacher (Short-term)
 Tutor or Advisor
 Visiting Teacher

 Its important to remember that section override roles can both enable and disable permissions for users in specific sections.

 For example, if a user has organization-level role permissions which allow them to Manage materials, but he or she is enrolled in a section with a section override role permission which does not allow them to Manage materials, then he or she will be losing permission to edit materials within that section.
 Likewise, if a user has organization-level role permissions which do not allow them to Manage materials and is enrolled in a section with a section override role permission which enables them to Manage materials, then he or she will be gaining permission to edit materials within that section.

Note: If you aren't sure which permissions are available to a user based on their organization-level role, please reach out to your organization's Support Contact.

[Assistant]
 Keywords: courses, schoology resources, course materials, saving course materials, resource collection, template for future course
 Aliases: Schoology
 As a course comes to an end, you can save the materials you've created to your Resources. This enables you to copy your materials to future courses or share them with other educators.

 Does this save a "live" version of my course or a copy?
 Schoology Resources acts as a file storage area: When you save your course it creates a copy of the materials from your course to be used as a template for future courses. There is no sync between the version in your course and the copy in your resources. If you made a change in your course, this does not update the copy in Resources. This works the other direction, too; if you change the copy in Resources, that doesn't change the original in your Courses.
 Think of your current course as a written notebook with all your lesson plans. You can take that entire notebook to the copier and make an exact duplicate of all your lesson plans as they exist at that time, and then file that duplicate away for future reference. But if you change your current lesson plans, the duplicate in your file isn't changed.

 Save a Course to Resources
 If you wish to reuse all the materials you've created for the course, use the Save Course to Resources option.
 To save an entire course's materials to your Resources:

 Navigate to the Materials page of the course you'd like to save to Resources.
 Click Options at the top.

Select Save Course to Resources from the drop-down menu.

 Select the Resource Collection in which you'd like to house your course content. If you haven't created a collection, you can add the course to your Home collection.
 Optional: Select a folder within the collection to which you'd like to save your course material.

The Save as field indicates that your course materials will be saved in a new folder within the selected destination in your Resources. Within that folder, the materials remain organized in the same structure that was used in the course.

 Click Submit to complete.

Important Notes:
 Course materials are saved as "templates" to Resources. Other course-specific items, such as members, student submissions, the course profile picture, and calendar events are not saved to resources.
 Depending on the number of materials in the course, it may take some time to save the course to Resources. In this case, you will see a message that reads, "Your large operation is currently being executed. You can access a list of your large operations from your Transfer History area." Check out this article to learn more about Transfer History.
 If you applied Student Completion Rules (Enterprise only) to your course, the rules are retained when the course is copied to Resources. This also means that when you copy that course content into a new course section, the original rules and sequencing are still in place.
 If you create Google Drive Assignment button items, you may want to attach the google file to the assignment before saving it.  This will ensure you have the correct file associated with the assignment the next time you want to use it.  You will need to re-attach the Google File with the Google Drive Assignment button once it is in the new course.  See this for more information: &lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;

 Save individual materials or folders to Resources:
 If your course is organized into folders, you can save individual folders and their contents to Resources.

 Navigate to the Materials page of the course.
 Click gear icon to the right of the material or folder you'd like to save.

Select Save to Resources from the drop-down menu.

 Select the Resource Collection in which you'd like to house your course content. If you haven't created a collection, you can add the course to your Home collection.
 Optional: Select a folder within the collection to which you'd like to save your course materials.

If you are saving a folder, you'll see a list of the materials within the folder that will be saved to your Resources.

 Click Save Copy to complete.

Important Notes:
 Course materials are saved as "templates" to Resources. Other course-specific items, such as members, student submissions, course profile picture, and calendar events are not saved to resources.
 If you applied Student Completion Rules (Enterprise only) to a folder, the rules are retained when the folder is copied to Resources. This also means that when you copy that folder into a new course section, the original rules and sequencing are still in place.

 See attached for help doc on how to make courses in Schoology unique to your. class. This makes it very helpful to know which specific course (and which grading period course) you are working in.
  * PSD Courses for students are created through PowerSchool. You should NOT change the "Course Name". Doing so will cause confusion in how the Course Name is displayed for others that are instructors and members of that overarching Course, and will also mess up the future PowerSchool sync.

 Example; There are 4 teachers that teach Kindergarten in a particular building. ATTENDANCE KINDERGARTEN is the main overarching course with 4 sections (one for each teacher). If one teacher changes the Course Name to Mr. John Doe's K  Kids, it will show as "Mr. John Doe's K  Kids" for ALL the kindergarten courses at that school.

 Instead, change the section name of the course. This allows you to create a unique ID for your course while not affecting other teachers. Please see Graphics below for further clarification:

 Grade Setup is an important step in organizing and preparing your course. It will enable you to use the gradebook to manage and communicate the progress of learning with students and families if you choose to.  Please see the different information for Elementary and Secondary.

 General Information
 The following is general information about the settings and functions of the Grade Setup tab. While you will want to be familiar with this section, please the specific information fro Elementary and Secondary at the end.

 Use the Grade Setup area to adjust grade settings for your course. In this area, you can manage your Grading Categories, create scales and rubrics, adjust the weights of your grading periods, and enable Final Grade Settings for your student reports.
 To access Grade Setup, click Grade Setup on the left side of your course.

Note:  As a Schoology Enterprise district, you may not have edit access to all areas of this page based on the permissions in place at your organization. Please reach out to DLI Instructional Team with any questions.
 Grading Categories
 Grading Categories enable you to organize graded items in the course. At least one grading category is required in order for you to use the Gradebook. Common examples of categories include Classwork, Homework, or Quizzes. There is no limit to the number of categories you can create, and you can weight each according to your own definition.
 To add a new category:

 Click Add in the Categories area.
 Enter a Name.
 Select either Percent or Total Points as the category calculation method. Click here to learn about the difference between Percent and Total Points as calculation methods.
 Use Drop lowest to automatically drop the lowest n grades within that category from each student's overall score in the course.
 Click Create to complete.

Note: If you are syncing grades to PowerTeacher Pro, you will need to leave Calculate by as Total Points for each category for both weighted and non-weighted categories.

Tip: Click the star icon to the right of one of your categories to mark it as your default category for newly-created materials.

 To delete a category:

 Hover over the category you'd like to delete and click x that appears to the right of the category.
 If there are any course materials attached to the grading category, you will be prompted to assign another category to those materials before you can proceed to delete:

 Once the materials are attached to another grading category or there are no materials attached to the category, click Delete to complete.

 Weight Grading Categories
 After you have created at least one category, you can choose to weight the categories for your course by checking Weight Categories.
 Enabling weighted categories displays a new Weight field next to each Category name. Enter proportional values into these fields to adjust the weight for each category.

Important Notes:
 Grading Categories cannot be changed throughout the course without impacting all grading periods of the course. For example, changing the grading category weights for the 2nd Quarter will also change the calculated grades in Quarter 1.
 Weights are relative to each other. You can view the Category's actual percentage value of the next to the Weight field. For example, if Weight Categories is checked, and I have four categories with a weight of 100, the percentage of each category within the overall grade is 25%.
 If one weighted category has no graded materials associated with it, then the category's weight is evenly distributed across the other categories.

Note: If you are syncing grades to PowerTeacher Pro, you will need to leave Calculate by as Total Points for each category.

 In order for syncing to work correctly between Schoology and PowerTeacher Pro, you will need to make sure Traditional Grade Calculations in PowerTeacher Pro have been set to Category Weighting.  See this Guide to Schoology/PowerTeacher Pro Grade Set Up for more information on grade set up:

 Edit Categories
 To make changes to an existing category, click the category name. In the popup window that displays, you may adjust:

 The Category Name.
 The Calculation Method.
 The number of low scores you'd like to drop from the overall calculation.
 The weight of the category.

 Grading Periods & Final Weights
 The Grading Periods & Final Weights area enables you to view all of the grading periods associated with your course, as well as the weighted percentages of each grading period. Depending on the settings in place at your school, you may be able to add or remove grading periods to your course.
 To add or remove a Grading Period, follow these steps:

 Click Edit to the right of the Grading Periods & Final Weights.
 Select from existing Grading Periods.
 If there aren't any grading periods listed in your school, you can add a new one to the course by entering a title (SP2018 or 2018-2019 Semester 1, for example) and a start and end date.
 If you don't see the ability to add grading periods to your course, contact a Digital Learning Coach for support.
 Click Save to complete.

Note: Assignments, assessments, test/quizzes, or graded discussions designated as midterm/final appear in this area. These items can be given a weight, calculated as part of the student's overall grade, and can be viewed in the Final/Midterm Material Grades filter in the Grading Period drop-down menu in the Gradebook.

 Final Grade Settings
 Use Final Grade Settings to customize how final grades calculate and display to students. To adjust these settings:

 Select the Scale under Final Grade Settings:

Numeric  displays the final grade as a percentage.

A+/-  displays the final grade as a letter (A, B, C, D, F, +/-)
 You can also select a custom grading Scale in this area (see below for details).

 Check Round Period/Final Grades to round grading period grades and final grades.
 Click Save Changes to complete.

 The Final Grade Settings area also includes the Control Grading Columns in Gradebook and Visibility Settings sections. Learn more about these settings in Grade Setup: Final Grade Settings.

 Grading Scales & Rubrics
 Create custom Grading Scales and Rubrics to grade your materials or apply them to your Final Grade Settings. Grading Scales map an alphanumeric value of your choice to a percentage grade (0-100), and rubrics enable you to score an an assignment, graded discussion, or test/quiz question based on several criteria.
 Scales

 In the screenshot above, a System Admin created the scales with the lock icons at the system-level in an Enterprise organization. Instructors cannot edit these scales.

Tip: Click the star icon to the right of a scale to mark it as your default scale for newly-created materials.

 For the Peninsula School District, the Letter Grade Scales have been set up and locked to match the PowerSchool Settings. You  will not have the ability to edit Percentage-based scales.

Note: The Numeric and A +/- scales are pre-populated for all Schoology instructors; you cannot remove these from the Scales list.
 Rubrics

 Important Information for Teachers
 For graded materials to display in your students Overdue area, all of the following must be true:

 Materials are visible to students. Hidden or unpublished materials do not appear in the Overdue area.
 You have enabled Submissions for Assignments.

  You have not locked Submissions for Assignments.

  You have assigned the course material to a Category.
 Course materials must meet these conditions to display in the Overdue area, to trigger Notification emails, or to be included in the Parent Email Digest.

Note: LTI and External Tool materials with due dates do not trigger Overdue Submissions because Schoology does not automatically detect submissions from external tools.

 For more information on setting up Overdue Notification:
 HOW DO STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS RECEIVE OVERDUE NOTIFICATIONS?

 Overdue Area
 The Overdue area on the right side of the homepage displays a list of materials that they did not turn in on time. It appears for students who have at least one item that they did not submit before the posted due date. Overdue materials are listed from most- to least-overdue, with the most-overdue item at the top.

Note: The Overdue area appears on the homepage only, it cannot be enabled at the course-level.

 Overdue Submissions in Courses with Subperiods
 If a course is associated to a year-long grading period that contains sub-periods ("1st Semester" and "2nd Semester," for example) and the student does not make a submission to an assignment posted in the first semester, the student will continue to see this item in the Overdue pane going into the second semester. This is because the course is associated to a year-long course with sub-periods and the course has not yet archived.

 Notifications Settings
 To receive email or text notifications for overdue materials, course members can enable the Course Materials Overdue option in the Notifications area. Select On in the dropdown menu to receive notifications for overdue materials in all your courses, or select Custom and choose the courses for which you want overdue notifications.

 Note: While the item may remain in the Overdue pane, students and parents will receive only one notification per late material regardless of how long it remains unsubmitted.

[Assistant]
 Keywords: courses, schoology, sections, unlinking, gradebook, unlink
 Aliases: Schoology

Unlinking Sections
 Once you've linked sections, you can also unlink them. However, when you unlink sections, the materials, grades, and data will remain only in the master section.

 Unlinking will only be possible within the first 10 days of a term. After that, please contact the Help Desk or a Digital Learning Coach for support.

 Schoology does not recommend unlinking sections once the school year has begun or once student submissions have been made in the child section.

Note: When you link or unlink sections, student assignment submissions in the child section(s) are not recoverable. As a safeguard against losing grade data for child sections, you are prompted to download a spreadsheet file containing all the grade data for child sections. See the Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections instructions below for details.
 To unlink sections:

 Click Courses at the top of the screen.
 Select My Courses..
 In your list of courses, click the gear icon to the right of the linked sections.
 Select Unlink Sections from the drop-down menu on the gear icon.

 When you click Unlink Sections, you are prompted to select the section(s) to unlink, as well as the two options of what happens to the unlinked section(s). Make sure you are aware of the effects:

Unlink and restore original section  restores that section to the way it was before it was linked. If it was an existing section with data, that data that existed before you linked the sections will be restored.  Only the master section retains the materials, setup, grades, and data. In other words, any material created after linking sections will only be retained in the master section when you unlink. The child section will revert back to what it looked like before you linked the sections.

Unlink and move enrollments into an new section  moves the students enrolled in that section into a new blank course - without materials or any other data. This action cannot be undone.

 As a safeguard against losing grade data for child sections, you must select to download a grade export file for each section being unlinked. See the Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections instructions below for details.

 Select the file type to download:
 As a Standard CSV spreadsheet.
 As a CSV file that you can use to import into other systems, such as an SIS.

 Click Download and Next.
 Click Unlink Sections to complete the process.

 Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections
 When you link or unlink sections, the grade data for child sections is not retainedonly the student grade data for the master section remains visible in Schoology. The child sections are restored to how they were before the sections were linked or unlinked.
 For this reason, Schoology strongly recommends against linking or unlinking during the school year; but we also realize that sometimes you will have link or unlink sections. For this reason, we've added a safeguard to ensure that grade data in child sections is still available to Course Admins: requiring a download of the gradebook spreadsheet for each child section when linking or unlinking.
 Before completing the linking or unlinking process, Course Admins must choose from one of two downloads:

Standard CSV:  Select this option to download a CSV file version of your gradebook. This spreadsheet is formatted similarly to how it is in Schoology, with the student names vertically and material titles along the top.

CSV for import into other system:  Select this option to download a CSV file with more detailed student data. This spreadsheet is separated by columns for mapping purposes to use to import into another system, such as an SIS gradebook.

 Grade Calculation Differences
 There are several important differences in how grades are calculated between the two formats.

Standard CSV
CSV for import into other system

Hidden or Unpublished Materials

Items with a factor are not multiplied by that factor before being included in the final score.

Weighted Categories

 Be sure to consider these variables when deciding the file format to download.

Notes:
 Ungraded items will not appear in the CSV.
 Individually assigned items will be marked with a hyphen for students who were not assigned the item.

 This article will go over the various teacher commands in GoGuardian.

 To interact with student devices and guide students, select a command button such as "open tab" and then select the students you want to issue the command to. Alternatively, you can select one or multiple student tile checkboxes (in the upper left corner of student tiles), or click into a student tile, and then choose the command.

 Here is a video overview of some of the commands, we will look at more below the video.

 Monitor Using Sessions: Teacher Commands

 Exclude or Include Student from Session
 Exclude selected students from your Screens view without deleting them from your roster, then include them back when necessary.

 The Exclude command allows teachers to exclude a student from their class session. This command temporarily hides the student from both the main classroom view and Timelines views (where browsing data is captured).
 'Exclude' can be useful for students who are absent for the day, or those working on something outside of class.
 Students can be excluded and reincluded at any time during a session. Please note that excluding a student is temporary and will not delete them from the class roster.
 To Exclude One Student:

 Click the 3 dots button in the corner of a student's tile.
 Click the Exclude student button

 To Exclude Multiple Students:

 Click the Exclude from session button in the command bar.
 Select All or check the boxes next to specific students on the following menu.

Confirm by clicking the Exclude students button.

 Click Here for more info on excluding students or Re-including them.

 Open Tab
 Direct your students to any web page by opening a new tab for them.

 Enter a URL in the Open Tab interface and click Open Tab

 Opening a Tab for One Student

 Click the 3 dots button in the corner of a student's tile
 Select the Open Tab button
 Enter a URL in the Open Tab interface and click Open Tab

 Note: Due to limitations of Chrome, the Open Tab command will not push the tab to a student's device unless they have a Chrome window open. If you see "no active tab" as a placeholder for a student's screen, ask the student to open Chrome, once you see an active tab,  then send the open tab command.

 Lock / Unlock Screen
 The lock screen command will mute and disable all Chrome windows on your student's device. The command is designed to unlock at the end of the session, but if a student joins a new session before the first session ends, they will remain locked.
 To lock a student's screen:

 Select one or more students using the checkbox to the left of each student's name
 Click the Lock / Unlock device button
 (Optional) enter a custom message to be displayed on the locked screen

 What are Scenes?
 Scenes give teachers access to custom web-filtering rules during their GoGuardian Teacher class sessions. Scenes can be used to block distracting and inappropriate websites, or simply limit students to the websites they need for class. Scenes can also be used to Auto-Open select websites, and limit students to a maximum number of open tabs at once.
 The following video demonstrates how to use and apply Scenes to help with classroom management.

 Creating a Scene
 Start by clicking the Scenes tab in the left column. On the main, Scenes page click Create List on either an Allowed Websites List, or a Blocked Websites List.
 An Allowed Websites List, or "Allow Mode Scene" allows teachers to limit students to only the websites on the allow list. All websites and webpages that aren't explicitly allowed by the allow list will be blocked.
 A Blocked Websites List, or "Block Mode Scene" will block all websites added to the list. All websites that are not added to the block list will be allowed.

 Customize the Scene and Add Block / Allow Rules
 After creating a Scene, customize the Scene by adding a name and, (optional) a color and description. Click Next to move on.
 Please note: we'll be using an Allowed Websites List in this example.

   On the following page, enter websites or individual webpages that you'd like to add and click Search. GoGuardian will search for the entered resource and provide options, suggestions, and recommendations of related websites to add.
 Click Add on the website(s) you would like to add.
 *Pro tip* adding websites vs. website paths and individual webpages. Scenes allow teachers to add in full websites, individual website paths and individual webpages. Students will then be blocked or allowed access to the entire website, or only the specified part of the website based on the type of Scene used.
 Allow Mode Scene Example:
 Full Website Allow: allowing Nationalgeographic.com will allow access to National Geographic, and all pages within National Geographic, such as nationalgeographic.com/history.
 Website Path Allow: Adding only Nationalgeographic.com/animals will only allow access to the 'animals' path of National Geographic's website; the main website and other website paths on National Geographic would be blocked.
 Individual Webpage Allow: finally, adding Nationalgeographic.com/animals/endangered-salamanders will only allow access to that individual webpage.
 Please note that the same, yet opposite functionality applies for Block Mode Scenes for blocking full websites vs. only blocking specific website paths or individual pages.

 Edit Scenes, Scene Options, and Sharing Scenes
 Each created Scene (found in the Scenes section) can be edited at anytime by clicking the 3 dot, "kebab" menu in the same row as the Scene's name.
 Scene options include, Renaming, Making a Copy, Editing (adjusting the block or allow rules) Set as Default, and Share.
 With the Share option, teachers can share their Scenes with one another. The shared Scene can be used by any teacher who receives the share invitation, but only the original Scene Owner can make edits to the Scenes' rules.  For more information on using Scene sharing, pleaser refer to the following article: Share GoGuardian Teacher Scenes.

  Applying a Scene
 Scenes can only be used during active class sessions, and can be applied in one of two ways: manually, or by setting a Default Scene.
 To apply a Scene manually, click the Scene Applied drop-down menu and choose from the available Scenes list. The actively applied Scene, if any, will always be listed at the top as seen in the following image.

 Default Scenes can be used to automatically enable a selected Scene at the beginning of class. To set a Default Scene:
 Navigate to a class, click the Settings cogwheel, and choose Edit.

 On the class Settings, under the Default Scene section, select a Default Scene from the drop-down menu and Update Classroom when finished.

 Default Scene Tip *Important*
 For teachers using automatically scheduled classes, please make sure to set a reminder to Archive your classroom at the end of the school, or remove the Default Scene. Automatically scheduled classes with a Default Scene attached can cause students to still be filtered even once the class has completed.
