"2021's Most Frequently Asked Questions

@LisaBerghoff/@MrKimDHS 

In an effort to take full advantage of economies of scale, here is an expanded list of the most frequently asked questions of 2021, or at least what I can think of at the moment:

District Licenses

Here is the current list of district licenses. You can access the majority of them by going to our Staff Resources page and logging in via Google SSO (Okta). Your miles may vary between school licensing. Click on each product for some resources to get started, or click here for a general description of all of them.

Dropped/Xfered Student Grades

Did a student just transfer out of your class into someone else's gradebook, and is the receiving teacher requesting their current point totals or cumulative score? 

• Click on the "Members" tab on the left side of Schoology and then venture over to "Inactive."
• Then click on the bar graph next to their name and save the page as a PDF ready for delivery!
  
  
  

Adding Section-Level Roles in Schoology

If you need to add senior teachers or a colleague to your Schoology course, here's the process:

• Click on "members" on the left side of Schoology, and then add members. 
• Click on the icon to the right of their name and make them an admin. You need to make them admin so that the nightly IC Sync doesn't remove them.
• Then click on the icon again and click, "Set Section-level Role"
• Choose "no grades, view materials" if it's a student.
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

Cross-Link Requests

Because of the way Infinite Campus categorizes and organizes classes, sometimes you'll be given multiple Schoology course sections for a singular period. To get past this, you can request a Cross-Linking at the start of each semester. To do this, you should take a look at your schedule first on IC:

• Switch over to "Campus Tools" and click on the following: Scheduling -> Reports -> Teacher Schedule Batch. Find your name and click "Generate Report."
  
  
  
  
  
• Once you find your sections, you'll have to designate a "Target Course" and your "Linked Courses." In the example below, "850022-47 LEARNING STRATEGIES" would be the "Target Course" that absorbs the remaining sections as "Linked Courses."
• Submit your requests by filling out this Google Form.
