Schoology is our Learning Management System at Riverdale. Teachers will use Schoology to post material for their classes, and students will use Schoology to complete assignments, tests, quizzes, and access other classroom resources. Read below for more information about using Schoology, creating different assignments, and submitting different types of resources.{{AboxNew

===Change Course Settings===
=== Open Schoology ===
 
Once you've logged in, consider doing the following if you want to prevent students from seeing course materials until school starts:
 
Under '''''Course Options''''', select '''''Edit Privacy / Course Settings''''' [[File:SchoologyPrivacy1.png|300 px]]
 
Set '''''Content Privacy Settings''''' to '''''No One''''' <br> [[File:SchoologyPrivacy2.png|400 px]]
 
Make sure you change these back by start of school so students can see your course content!
 
Feel free to create courses or groups and play around! You won't damage anything. Actual RCS Courses are auto-generated sometime in late August.
 
===Copy Previous Courses===
<u>This is only for ILS teachers Q2/Q4</u>


Duplicating a course for use '''next year'''? <u>Don't do this</u>. You'll usually want to selectively copy course materials to '''''Resources''''', organize them there, and copy them to a new course in the Fall. However, there are certain situations in which copying a course mid-year makes sense. Our ILS Q2/Q4 teacher swap is one of these. Follow these steps to duplicate a current course for use with other students than those currently auto-enrolled.  
* Go to [https://my.riverdale.edu my.riverdale.edu]
* Log in using your '''''Riverdale username''''' and '''''passphrase'''''
* Click on the '''''Schoology icon'''''
* You should then be logged in automatically.


Click '''''Courses''''' and click '''''See All'''''
Alternatively, you can also go directly to [https://Learning.riverdale.edu learning.riverdale.edu] and '''''Sign-in with Google'''''
[[File:Sgy_duplicate_course_1.png|none|thumb]]
Click the '''''Setting icon''''' and click on '''''Copy Section'''''
[[File:Sgy_duplicate_course_2.png|none|thumb]]
Change the relevant information according to the image below, and click '''''Copy'''''
[[File:Sgy_duplicate_course_3.png|none|thumb]]
You might have a short delay before the course is available. Once it is, it'll show up as just another course with you as the teacher. You can click into it and manipulate it like any other course. You'll now need to manually enroll your students (Go to your '''''Course Main Page'''''  and click '''''Members''''' in the left hand menu), or they'll need to use the '''''Access Code''''' to join. Go to any '''''Course Main Page''''' and get the code from the '''''Green Access Code Box''''' on the bottom left of the window. You can send this code to others to join your course/section.


Note: '''<u>do not</u>''' edit the name of your original course (e.g. C1 - Q1/Q3). Doing this will irreparably sever the very fabric of space-time and we might even need to reset your passphrase.

=== Bulk Edit Assignments ===
=== Create Google Drive Assignment ===
Google Drive Assignments allow all of your students to start with a copy of a template you create. Think of this as a worksheet you want your students to fill out, or a common writing prompt your class is supposed to complete.
 
# Create a Google Doc representing the assignment in your school Google Drive. Make sure to log in with your '''''Riverdale username''''' and '''''passphrase'''''.
# Follow [https://uc.powerschool-docs.com/en/schoology/latest/using-the-google-drive-assignments-app#id-(20230914-en)UsingtheGoogleDriveAssignmentsApp-CreateanAssignmentusingtheGoogleDriveAssignmentsApp these steps] to attach that document to your assignment in Schoology. Remember, students will individually receive copies of that document that they can work on. These will also show up in Schoology and your Google Drive automatically.
 
If you have questions about this, reach out to a member of the Tech Team.
 
=== Create Kami Assignment ===
Kami Assignments allow all your students, especially those with touch-enabled devices (like Chromebooks), to annotate PDF's with handwriting, text boxes, and more.
 
# Create a PDF and store it in your Google Drive. Students will automatically receive copies of this PDF when they open the Kami Assignment.
# Click '''''Courses''''' in Schoology
# Open your '''''course page'''''
# Click on '''''Add Materials'''''
# Click on '''''Add Assignment'''''
# Give your assignment a '''''Title''''' and '''''Description'''''
# Click on the '''''Kami button'''''
# Click '''''Continue with Google''''' and log in with your '''''Riverdale''''' '''''email address''''' and '''''passphrase'''''
#* Click '''''Allow''''' if this is the first time you're using Kami to give access to your Google Drive
# Find the PDF in your Google Drive, click '''''your PDF''''', and click '''''Select'''''
# Click '''''Create''''' to finish creating your assignment
 
And that's it! If you have questions, reach out to a member of the Tech Team.

===Configure Notification Settings===
You can customize Schoology '''''Notifications''''' from the '''''Notifications Button''''' in the top right corner of each individual '''''Course'''''. The changes you make from the '''''Notications button''''' will only affect that particular Course's notifications to you. For this reason, it's useful for avoiding unwanted email notifications from the course(s) you're enrolled in as a result of your ECR.
