Learn how to create an assignment in Schoology that will allow the Schoology assignment to be mapped to a NEW or EXISTING Gradient assignment. Mapping assignments allows students access to Gradient via Schoology and grade passback from Gradient to the Schoology gradebook.
If Gradient has not yet been added as an external tool within Schoology for your team, please share our Integrations - Schoology Setup support article with your school/district Schoology Lead.
By default, students can NOT see any Gradient assignments within Schoology until their teacher creates an online access window either for turning in an assignment or reviewing a graded assignment.
Lockdown browser restrictions are also available for Gradient assignments mapped via Schoology.
Create a Schoology Assignment
Login into Schoology and select the course needed.
Title: It is helpful to use the same assignment name as the Gradient assignment (to make mapping easier), but it is not required to match.
Enable Grading: Check the box to include Gradient assignment scores in Schoology.
Note: The name in the Tool Provider area may vary. The name displayed is configured by your Schoology administrator. If you cannot find the GradeCam Gradient option, please contact your district’s Schoology administrator.
Map to Gradient
After creating the assignment within Schoology, map the Schoology assignment to a Gradient assignment.
Select the assignment from the materials window and choose one of the two options listed:
New - creates a new assignment in the user's Gradient account.
Existing - choose an assignment that has already been created in the user's Gradient account.
Map to a New Assignment
From the New section, choose Create.
Map Your Assignment window
Add Assignment Name
Select the number of Questions for the assignment (default is 10).
Toggle your preferences for Private assignments and the Schoology gradebook connection.
When finished, select Create Assignment.
Select the class(es) or student(s), set the Turn In window, set the Review window, and choose Save.
When an assignment is created in Canvas, Schoology, or Jupiter and mapped to a Gradient assignment, grades scanned from paper forms will automatically be passed back to the Canvas, Schoology, or Jupiter gradebook.
Grade Passback involves scores linked to individual students that automatically reflect in Canvas, Schoology, or Jupiter gradebooks once the student has submitted the assignment.
Grade Transfer in Gradient involves copying and pasting assignment grades according to a predetermined sort order (alpha by name or numeric by student ID).
For best practice with Canvas specifically, schools or districts who leave “concluded” students on the roster in Canvas should use the automatic Grade Passback vs. Grade Transfer since the sort order of grades won’t match the student roster in Canvas
Resync Scores
To update grades, correct errors, or add missing grades in Schoology, Resync Scores from Gradient. Follow these steps to resync:
1. Click on a Gradient assignment so that it's filtered in the top left corner (you will automatically be brought to the Responses tab if responses have been collected).
2. Use the checkboxes before the student names to select all or individual students from the list.
Tip! Use the Class filter in the left panel to show and select students from only one class.
3. Click the More icon from the toolbar and click Resync Scores.
Student View
Students will select their course and choose their assignment in Schoology.
Students may select the icon in the upper right to expand the Gradient window.
Important Information
