System Administrators: Enabling the Course Objectives Permission

This feature is currently in limited availability. If you would like to align learning objectives at the course level, please reach out to your Schoology representative.


Support for Learning Objectives in a Schoology course is an important building block for personalized learning that is focused on achievement, not just test scores. The Schoology Course Objectives feature provides educators with a powerful tool to check if existing courses adhere to objectives and to ensure that new courses are developed with adherence to objectives. This functionality enables administrators and educators to easily map content materials to school, district, or state standards.

System Administrators can follow the below instructions to enable educators in their school or organization to align Learning Objectives to their Schoology courses and sections.
