Teacher App Configuration in their Schoology Course

Open the Infinite Campus app.

When the app launches for the first time, you will be prompted to approve it.

The remaining steps are for organizations leveraging OneRoster 1.2:

1. Once the app is approved, click Configuration.
2. Map your Infinite Campus OneRoster Course Categories to the Schoology Course Categories. When creating graded materials in Schoology, assign a Category to each item. When items sync back to your Infinite Campus gradebook, they will be assigned to categories in Infinite Campus based on the mapping in this area.
   
   Depending on the grading categories in the course, teachers can map more than one Schoology grading category to a single Infinite Campus grading category.
   
3. Click Save Configuration.

If you have not yet created any Schoology Course Categories in the Grade Setup area of your Schoology course, you can create a new category from the Infinite Campus app.

1. Select (Create New Schoology Category) in the drop-down menu.
2. Click Save Configuration. This will create the category in the Grade Setup area of the Schoology course.

Linked Course Sections

If your sections are linked in Schoology, you need to configure the Infinite Campus teacher app in each of the sections. To do this, open the Infinite Campus teacher app from the left menu of the course profile. Once you have configured the first section, click Save Configuration, and then click the Section drop-down menu to toggle into a different section to continue configuration.

Cross-Listed Sections

Notes:

If your sections are cross-listed in Schoology, grades can be passed back successfully to the target and cross-listed sections under the associated grading categories in Infinite Campus.

In order to ensure successful grade passback when using the Infinite Campus One Roster 1.2 integration and cross-listing together, teachers must complete the following requirements:

• Grading category titles must be an exact match between cross-listed and target sections in Infinite Campus. 
• Map the grading categories in the Infinite Campus teacher app. Cross-listed sections sync by grading category title so you are only required to map the target sections. 
• If there are any changes made to the grading categories in Infinite Campus, click Save Configuration under Configuration in the Infinite Campus teacher app to retrieve the most recent grading category data and correctly map the target section and its cross-listed sections.

Grading Tasks

Grading tasks enable you to calculate and post grades within Infinite Campus outside of the grading category. If your system administrator has opted to include grading tasks in the provisioning sync, you will have the ability to associate tasks to graded course materials in Schoology.

Grading task calculations do not apply in Schoology since it is a calculation method unique to Infinite Campus. However, you can read and associate, and pass the tasks back with their material to be included in the Infinite Campus Gradebook calculations.

To associate grading tasks to graded course materials:

1. From the Create or Edit modal of your course material, select the desired task from the Grading Task drop-down menu.
   
   If the grading tasks do not populate, click Refresh data from the Configuration area in the Infinite Campus teacher app. 
2. Click Create/Save.

When you sync grades, the grading tasks will be included in the sync from the Schoology gradebook to the Infinite Campus gradebook.

Teacher Grade Sync

Once the configuration settings are saved, teachers can view the status of graded items and grades from the Sync Grades area of the app. The column on the left displays the Title of the graded item. The columns in the middle display the timestamp of the last successful sync and the status of the sync.

The Action column allows you to sync individual items. To sync all new or updated items in the course at once, click Sync Changes.

Status indicators:

• Successful – This means that the item was successfully synced to the SIS gradebook.
• Queued – A sync has been initiated and is waiting to process.

• Not yet synced – A sync has not yet been initiated since the item was created in Schoology.

If a graded item or grade has not yet appeared in the Infinite Campus Grade Book, you can navigate to this area of the app and click the Sync icon or Sync Changes to manually resend the information to Infinite Campus.

If there has been an error in the sync, a red message icon will appear. Hover over the icon to display the message details.
