How to Work on an Assignment?

●       When a student works on an assignment, they need to divide the topic into a few questions. All they need to do is answer all those questions in their paper or assignment.

submitting assignments in schoology

●       The students should list down their resource materials while they are working on a topic. They must not copy and paste the whole part of their resource material. Instead, they should use portions of that resource in their project with in-text citations followed by a reference list. They should put the resource material within quotes to substantiate their answer.

●       They should know what to cite and what not to cite. If the students are paraphrasing some parts of a resource, they do not need to use quotation marks. They can do a proper citation under the heading bibliography. If they are using portions of their previous work, they need to do a citation. In case they do not do it that can be an instance of self-plagiarism .

●       When the students work on their project, they need to make sure they are not doing any wrong citations or misquoting parts. They must do an in-page citation and a full citation at the end of the work. In the reference list, one should mention the author’s name, work, page number, publisher, edition, and other valid information. The students need to remember that crediting the original author is the only way to avoid plagiarism .

●       The students can submit unlimited pages for assignments on Schoology. The tool supports any document up to 512 MB per file. Schoology Doc viewers supports a huge variety of files including PDF, DOC, DOCX, GIF, TXT, HTML, JPG, PPT, PPTX, PNG, SXW, TIFF, WMV, WPD, XML, CSV, DFX, EPS, HTM, JPEG, MP3, MP4, MOV, RTF, ODP, ODS, PSD, XLS, XLSV, XLSX, etc. Therefore the student can submit their assignment in any format.

●       Lastly, the student can use a plagiarism checker tool to determine the plagiarized part present in a content.

  • Schoology Learning

Using the OneDrive Assignments App

The OneDrive Assignments App enables instructors to assign Microsoft Word Docs, Excel Spreadsheets, PowerPoint Slideshows, and other Microsoft assets from directly within the Schoology platform. Once assigned, students can make their own copies of the content to work on and submit, and the instructor can then provide feedback and grade the assignment, all without leaving Schoology.

  • To use OneDrive Assignments, You must install the app from the Schoology App Center, accessible from the header in your Schoology account.
  • If you are using Schoology Assignments simultaneously with Microsoft Teams Assignments, it is recommended as best practice to disable Teams Assignments to avoid repetition between the two platforms.

Adding Microsoft Content to Schoology Assignments

Instructors can add content from their OneDrive accounts directly from within a Schoology Assignment.

Create an Assignment using the OneDrive Assignments App

  • From the Courses menu at the top of the screen, select the course in which you're adding the assignment.
  • Click the Add Materials button at the top of your Course Materials page. You can also access the Add Materials button from within a folder.

submitting assignments in schoology

  • From the Create Assignment screen, click OneDrive Assignments to open your OneDrive.

If necessary, click Connect to approve the app and log in to your OneDrive account.

Instructors and Students must also be logged into a Microsoft account through their browser to work on and submit assignments using the OneDrive app.

  • Enter words or phrases in the Search pane to filter your results. Enclose phrases in single quotes (apostrophes) to search for that exact phrase. Items matching your search terms populate automatically in the results list.

submitting assignments in schoology

  • You can only choose one Microsoft file per Schoology Assignment. To choose a different file, click the x in the right margin to delete the current file, then re-open the OneDrive Assignments app to select another file from your Drive.
  • Fill in the rest of the assignment and click Create .
  • Creating the Assignment also automatically creates a new folder structure in your OneDrive, which Schoology uses to organize student copies of the file to make it easier for you to keep your OneDrive organized. It is important that you do not delete or rename any of the new folders in your OneDrive.
  • Once you click Create , you can no longer remove the selected Microsoft file from your assignment.

OneDrive Folder Hierarchy

The first time you create an assignment using the OneDrive Assignments app, a new folder called Schoology automatically generates at the root level in your associated OneDrive. With each new assignment you create, new folders populate automatically with the following hierarchy:

  • A new folder for the course and section named CourseName: SectionName , plus a numeric identifier to ensure uniqueness, is added in the Schoology folder.
  • A new folder with the Assignment name for its title also appended with a numeric identifier, is added to the course/section folder.

Each time a student makes a copy of the file, it is added to the Assignment folder. The filename is the name you gave it with the student name appended to the beginning.

For example, if you created a new assignment called Grammar Review in Section 1 of an English 101 course, the folder structure would be Schoology > English 101:Section 1 +[numeric ID] . If course member Hannah Atkins then creates a copy of the file, it is named Hannah Atkins - Grammar Review +[numeric ID] and placed in the English 101:Section 1 +[numeric ID] folder.

You and your students should not delete, edit, or rename any of the folders created via the Schoology integration.

Managing the Assignment from the OneDrive App

The assignment is now available in the course.

submitting assignments in schoology

Click the assignment itself to open it.

Three tabs display at the top of the assignment that provide additional controls and information:

  • In Progress
  • Submissions

Assignment Tab

On the Assignment tab, you can:

  • See the due date and time.
  • See the assignment Description.

Open the Microsoft file you selected in a new tab in your browser.

This is the file that your students will use to create their own copies of the file, and any edits you make do not automatically update in previously-created copies of the file. That is, only students who create their copy after you make the edits will have versions that contain the edits. Updates to the file are not reflected for students who've already made their copies.

  • Review a rubric if one is being used to grade the assignment.
  • Use the section switcher to change the course section you're viewing if you have linked sections taking the assignment.

In Progress Tab

The In Progress tab displays a list of all students who have not yet made an assignment submission. View a student's copy of your original document before they submit by selecting their name from the list of the In Progress tab.

Monitor the progress of your students before they submit. Provide feedback directly on submissions using the native OneDrive feedback tools.

Student Copies of Your Document

Students click the My Document tab in their view of the assignment to create their own copy of your original file. As the instructor, you are the owner of the document in Microsoft, and the file is shared with your students.

Students must be logged into their own OneDrive accounts through their browser in order to create a copy of your original file.

The In Progress tab displays both students who have clicked My Document and created their own copy of your Microsoft file, as well as students who have not yet made a copy.

For example, if you provided the assignment to the whole class, students who have not yet submitted display in the student list. If you assigned only to individual students, those students appear on the list.

Viewing In Progress Files

When you select a student’s name who has not yet clicked the My Document tab in their view of the assignment, the following message displays:

It looks like [student’s first name] has not opened this assignment yet. Once your student clicks My Documen t, a copy of your original file will be created and the document will appear here.

submitting assignments in schoology

Student can edit their files while submissions are still In Progress . Once students make a submission, they can no longer edit their files (from either Schoology or OneDrive). As the instructor and owner of the file, you will always have edit access to each of your students' file.

This copy displays when you select a student from the list in your In Progress tab until the student makes a submission. Once the student submits, his or her name and document display in the Submissions tab instead.

To open the student's copy of the document directly within OneDrive, click Open in the top right corner.

Submissions Tab

Submitting Assignments

Once students authorize the app and log into their OneDrive account through their browser, they can edit their file from within Schoology.

To submit, students click the Submit Assignment button at the top of their document.

submitting assignments in schoology

Students may no longer edit the Microsoft file after submitting the assignment.

However, students may click the Unsubmit button at any time before the due date, and before you have graded their work. This includes applying an exception code.

Unsubmitting an assignment returns it to the In Progress tab in your view of the assignment as the Instructor. When an assignment is unsubmitted, the student re-gains edit access to the file and may continue working on the assignment.

Please note, these errors can depend on your browser setup.
