Use Microsoft Teams Assignments with PowerSchool Schoology Learning

  • Article

This guide provides the IT admin steps for deploying the Microsoft Teams Assignments learning tool interoperability (LTI) app in PowerSchool Schoology Learning.

For an overview of all of the Microsoft integrations for learning management systems (LMS), see Integrating Microsoft products with your Learning Management System.

Important

The person who performs this integration should be an administrator of Schoology Learning. However, Schoology Learning users with access to the Schoology Learning App Center can also install the Teams Assignments app.

By installing and using the Teams Assignments LTI, educators and students can transmit grades to the LMS where the terms of use and privacy policy of that application apply.

Deploy the Teams Assignments app in Schoology Learning

  1. Access the Teams Assignments app in the App Center by copying this direct link into a browser: 'https://<apps>.schoology.com/apps/profile/7314774244' and replacing the <apps> portion of the URL with your organizations custom subdomain (for example: districtXYZ.schoology.com/apps/profile/7314774244). Then browse to the app store profile.

  2. Select Login in the upper right to log into your Schoology Learning instance as an administrator with access to install and configure the app.

  3. Select the Install LTI 1.3 App button to begin the installation process.

  4. Select the I agree button.

  5. When asked if this app should be installed for your entire organization or just for you, select Add to Organization, and you're redirected to the Organization Apps page to complete the configuration.

  6. From the Organization Apps list, locate the Teams Assignments app and select the Install/Remove button.

  7. To install the app for all courses, choose the All Courses checkbox and the Course Admins Only checkbox.

Note

If you choose not to install the app for all courses, then Course Admins must install the app for themselves by either:

  • Selecting the Install Your App(s) link at the bottom of the course left rail navigation menu, and then selecting the Teams Assignments app to install.
  • Going to the Organization Apps list, selecting the Install/Remove button, and choosing the courses in which to install the app.

Use Teams Assignments in Schoology Learning

  • On their first access of any Teams Assignments flow, users must sign in using their Microsoft 365 account.
  • Users in Schoology Learning should have their email address populated with the UPN or primary email address from Microsoft 365/Microsoft Entra. This is required for grades to sync from Teams Assignments to the students in the Schoology Learning gradebook.
  • A Microsoft class team needs to be connected to the Schoology Learning course section that uses Teams Assignments. The class team should have the same users and roles as the course section, with teachers as owners of the team and students as members in the team.

Important

For grading and feedback sync via LTI to the Schoology gradebook to work, the assignment needs to have a Category specified.

Tip

Defining categories in Grade Setup and marking a category as the default (yellow star icon) ensures that Teams Assignments linked in Schoology have a category assigned automatically.
