How do I sync assignment grades from Albert with Schoology?
Note: Before you can sync assignments and grades from Albert with Schoology, your school must configure the integration. Technology specialists can use these directions to learn how to setup a Schoology integration.
Syncing an assignment from Albert with Schoology will create a new line item in your Schoology gradebook. Student results on the Albert assignment will automatically populate in Schoology as your students complete the assignment, and explanations in Albert are made available to them. If students have already started an assignment when you sync an assignment, existing published grades will backfill.
Albert assignments that are synced will NOT show up as materials in Schoology.
To sync an assignment from Albert with your gradebook in Schoology, you must have previously imported your roster from Schoology and have set a default category for grades in your Schoology gradebook.
You can sync an assignment by clicking the Sync button from the confirmation page that shows after you create an assignment:
Alternatively, you can sync an assignment by clicking “Sync” next to the assignment from your classroom assignment list:
If you see an info icon instead of a sync button, it is because the class roster was not previously imported from Schoology. Click here to learn how to import a roster from Schoology.
If you do not see a sync button or an info icon, it is because your school has not yet configured a Schoology integration. Technology specialists can use these directions to learn how to integrate Schoology.
What happens when I “re-sync” an assignment?
Re-syncing an assignment will delete the existing gradebook entry in Schoology, create a new entry for the assignment, and re-populate any existing grades. If you are encountering any issues with the syncing functionality or made changes in Schoology that you want to revert, re-syncing the assignment can help.
