Keywords: Schoology, Materials, Resources Aliases: HOW DO I COPY MATERIALS WITHIN A COURSE? Question I have a recurring weekly assignment in my course. I'd like to copy or duplicate this assignment. How do I copy materials in a course? Answer There is no option to directly copy or duplicate materials within a course. Instead, you can save a template of your assignment to your Resources. From there, you can copy as many versions of the assignment as needed back into the course. Note: To copy materials to a different course that you administer, click the gear icon next to the material and select Copy to Course. You can copy the material to any other course for which you are a Course Admin. To make a copy of a material within the same course: Click the gear icon to the right of the material. Select Save to Resources from the drop-down menu: Choose a location within your Resources where you want to save a template of the material. Best Practice: Before you get started saving your course materials to Resources, create collections for each subject area or course. A collection is a container that stores courses, folders, files, and resources you may want to use again. This enables you to curate your course content before moving it into your courses. Navigate to the material in your Resources. Click the gear icon to the right of the material. Select Add to Course from the drop-down menu. Select the course and folder to which you want to add the material. Click Add to complete. See How to Create a Collection of Material Types in Schoology Resources and Share with Team Members for more information.

Keywords: substitute plans, schoology sub plan Aliases: substitute sub folder Consider leveraging Schoology by creating an emergency (or planned) folder with self-paced student learning options that is ready to go but unpublished until you need it. A guest teacher need only point the students to your course and monitor engagement. You can include videos (of you teaching! 🤩),  links, discussions, directions, articles, and even offline activities to keep students learning. A student can easily cast or share their screen if something needs to be shown to the whole class.  See this article for more ideas: Preparing Sub Plans in Schoology

Keywords: members, unenroll, add member, unenroll member, give administrative access Aliases: Schoology  HOW DO I ADD CO-INSTRUCTORS TO A COURSE? Follow If you co-teach your class, work with a TA or paraprofessional on a regular basis, or want to give administrative access to a student-teacher, you may consider adding one or more additional course admins to your course. To do this, the person must first be enrolled as a member of your course and their account must be an instructor or faculty account.  The course administrators of a Schoology course have access to view and manage materials in the course. A course section can have as many administrators as needed. Administrators of the course will see course updates populate their Recent Activity feed. They can also receive menu and email notifications for the course. Note: Only the course creator can add sections to the course – other course administrators can not add sections. For example: User A creates Course 1: Section 1. User A then adds User B as an admin for Section 1. User A can make changes to Course 1 and Section 1, but User B can only make changes to Section 1, not Course 1. Add instructors to a course with Add Members  Enterprise instructors have the ability to add members directly form the course using the Add Members option:  Select Members from the left menu of the course. Click Add Members. Select the instructor(s) you'd like to enroll into the course. You will see a selected count in the upper right corner. You can also search or browse for each user without affecting previously selected members. Click Add Members. You will return to the Member list. In the Members area, click the gear to the right of the instructor's name and select the option Make Admin. This person will now have a shield icon to the right of their name in the Members list, indicating that they now have the ability to administer the course. Note: Depending on the settings in place at your school, you may not see the option to add additional instructors to your course. If you're not able to add instructor to your course, please contact your system administrator for further assistance. System Administrator and Schoology Support information is located in the Help Center area. Unenroll Course Members To unenroll a member from your course: Navigate to the course.  Click Members from the left menu.  Click the gear icon next to the member's name.  Select Unenroll from the drop-down menu. Click Confirm.  Once the member has been unenrolled, they will appear in the Inactive area of your course members page. From there, you have additional options to either re-enroll the student or remove them entirely. Notes: If the student is manually unenrolled, they will remain in the Inactive tab of the course Members page. If the student has been unenrolled via SIS sync, the student will not appear in the Inactive tab.  Unenrolling members from a course will archive the grades and submissions associated with those members. However, all updates and comments on updates remain. Course administrators can retain a copy of grades and submissions by exporting the gradebook and downloading the submissions prior to unenrolling the course member. Additionally, if course members were already unenrolled, you may re-enroll those members to retrieve the grades and submissions.

Keywords: Embed Youtube Videos Video Schoology Aliases:  Embed YouTube video into Schoology with NO suggested videos showing at end of the video.  The Video will loop back to the beginning.  I also show how to remove the controls so students cannot open the video in YouTube. <span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"> </span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"> </span> The video "Embed a YouTube video in Schoology with no suggested videos at end" by Donna Squires, uploaded on September 28, 2018, is a tutorial on embedding YouTube videos into Schoology courses without displaying suggested videos at the end. The video is 293 seconds long and covers the following steps: Accessing the Embed Code: Navigate to the desired YouTube video and click on the 'Share' button. From there, select 'Embed' to access the embed code. Modifying the Embed Code: In the embed options, uncheck the 'Show suggested videos when the video finishes' option. This alters the embed code to ensure that no suggested videos are displayed after the video ends. Additional Settings: Donna also suggests unchecking 'Show player controls' to remove the ability to fast-forward or watch the video on YouTube directly. This modification further changes the embed code. Copying the Embed Code: Once the modifications are made, copy the revised embed code. Inserting into Schoology: In the Schoology course, place the cursor where the video is to be displayed and select 'Insert Content' followed by 'Image/Media.' Choose 'From the web' and paste the copied embed code. Adjusting Size and Display: The size of the video can be adjusted to match other content on the page. Donna demonstrates how to edit display settings, like inline display or a new page display, for the embedded videos in Schoology. Finalizing the Embedding: Save the changes to see the embedded video in the course. The video will play at its normal speed without showing suggested videos at the end or providing controls to change playback speed. The video provides a clear, step-by-step guide for educators looking to incorporate YouTube videos into their Schoology courses in a controlled manner, enhancing the learning experience without distractions.
