Additional Information:
Things to Consider before using the External Tool (LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability)) 
  • Students no longer must register or be registered with iCEVOnline.com; they will be automatically registered through the External Tool (LTI) 
  • If the External Tool (LTI) will be used; please hide all the lessons in iCEVonline.com 
    • This will minimize confusion of the students 
  • Individual teachers should opt to use either iCEVonline.com or the External Tool; not both 
  • The External Tool (LTI) and iCEV (iCEVOnline.com) are two different accounts 
    • Settings changed in one account do not affect the other account and vice-versa 
  • Students have infinite number of attempts to complete interactive activities 
    • This attempt threshold cannot be changed; this is a limitation of Schoology 
  • When students send their work; they are shown a “Detailed Summary” page 
    • This page also shows the students the question, their answer, and the correct answer 
  • Grades will only show in the Schoology gradebook while the External Tool is being used 
    • Grades are no longer available through the iCEV Course / Lesson Grades reporting tool 
    • The “Show Details” or “Detailed Summary” page is not accessible to the teacher 
    • The “Highest” scored grade will be passed back to the Schoology gradebook 
Schoology is acting strangely what can I do? 
Always check the Schoology Status page if you think Schoology is acting strangely: https://status.schoology.com/  



How does grade pass back work? 
  1. Student submits a student interactive assignment 
  2. Submission is graded 
  3. Student is shown the “Detailed Summary Page” 
  4. If the grade is higher than the earlier submission; this grade is sent to the gradebook 
  5. The grade is sent to the Schoology gradebook (5) five times 
    1. Schoology doesn’t communicate when the grade has been received 
    2. Therefore, we send the grade to the Schoology gradebook (5) five times 
  6. Schoology will automatically convert our 100-point scale score to the point value you entered while setting up the Schoology external tool assignment point value 
Some student grades are missing what can I do? 
  1. Have the student go back to the assignment that is missing the grade 
  2. Have the student click the text that says “Summary” 
    1. This will re-trigger, the grade pass back for this student and assignment 
  3. Students may have to do this a few times 
All student grades are zero (0), what can I do? 
  1. Make certain that the point value assigned to the Schoology external tool assignment is something other than zero (0) 
Track Revisions is your friend. 
https://support.schoology.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015718508-Track-Revisions-Enterprise-only- 
Track Revisions shows as grades are coming in; under "Name” anywhere you see “Not Available”; that’s Schoology receiving the grade from iCEV. 
 
Looking forward to our meeting and Schoology should be much simpler than Google Classroom. 
 
I hope that this helps and please have a great day,
