Learn how to create an assignment in Schoology that will allow the Schoology assignment to be mapped to a NEW or EXISTING Gradient assignment. Mapping assignments allows students access to Gradient via Schoology as well as a score pass back from Gradient to the Schoology gradebook.

• By default, students can NOT see any Gradient assignments within Schoology until an online access window is created by their teacher either for turning in an assignment or reviewing a graded assignment.
• Lockdown browser restrictions are also available for Gradient assignments that are mapped via Schoology.

Create a Schoology Assignment

Login into Schoology and select the course needed.

Select Add Materials. Select Add file/Link/External Tool. Then select External Tool.

Create New Assignment - Required Fields

Tool Provider: Choose GradeCam Gradient Title: It is helpful to use the same assignment name as the Gradient assignment (to make mapping easier), but it is not required to match. Enable Grading: Check the box to include Gradient assignment scores in Schoology.

• Note: The name in the Tool Provider area may vary. The name displayed is configured by your Schoology administrator. If you cannot find the GradeCam Gradient option, please contact your district’s Schoology administrator.

Important Information
