For Teachers

Course setup and visibility

Once you've logged in, consider doing the following if you want to prevent students from seeing course materials until school starts:

  1. Under "Course Options", select "Edit Privacy/Course Settings"
    SchoologyPrivacy1.png

  2. Set content privacy settings to "no one"
    SchoologyPrivacy2.png

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.

Copying a course (This is only for ILS teachers Q2/Q4)

Duplicating a course for use next year? Don't do this. 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.

Sgy duplicate course 3.png

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 (course main page > "Members" link at left), or they'll need to use the Access Code to join (any course page > green Access Code box).

Note: do NOT 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.

Posting an Assignment: Workflow

Create your assignment

Decide on due date and time:

  • "11:59pm the night before" - If you make this choice, there will be fewer changes to make as this is the default time; will mark students' work late if completed before class on the due date.
  • "8:25am the day of" - Allows you to use a consistent time; will mark students' work late if completed before class on the due date.
  • "Class start time" - Requires you to change the time every day, dependent on the class schedule
  • "3:30 the day of" - Allows you to use a consistent time; will not flag late work if completed after class and before 3:30
