Quick Start Guide (Schoology)

Install and access Education Modified within Schoology

• In the Schoology App Center, select the Special Education category.

• Click Education Modified to begin the installation process.
• Agree to the terms and conditions presented. 
• You will then be given an option of installing for the Organization, or as an Individual Teacher. 
  • For most use-cases, we highly recommend an Organization-Wide Installation. However, if you wish to only install for yourself to test out Education Modified, individual installation instructions are also included below.  

Organization-Wide Installation

• After clicking 'Add for Organization', a dialog box of setting options should appear. 
• The first set of options involves Users. These options dictate which users (if any) will have access to Education Modified in the 4-box App menu in the main Schoology Navigation. 
  • We recommend choosing the 'All Users' box and then selecting Teacher and System Admin roles. 
  • If your School is using Education Modified with additional user groups (paraprofessionals, advisors, guidence counselors etc) their roles should be checked here as well. 
  • Important: Ensure that any student and parent roles are unchecked before saving. Students and Parents should not be given access to Education Modified. 

• The following settings dictate if Education Modified should be accessible via the side-menus of Courses and Groups. To enable both or either, select the 'All Courses' and / or 'All Groups' options. 
  • Important: If selecting these options, be sure that 'Course admins only' and / or 'Group admins only' boxes are checked. Otherwise students will see Education Modified appear in the side-menus of their courses. 
  • Note: These options only control where the Education Modified App can be accessed within Schoology. It does not influence what rostering data is available. 

• Once you have updated the settings to your liking, click "Install". (If you are unsure, we'd recommend starting with limited locations, you can always add additional roles later.) 

Individual Teacher Installation 

• Select ‘Add to my homepage’ and the Courses and Groups in which you would like to install Education Modified.
• Click ‘Install’!

Accessing Education Modified

• Once installed, click the four-square icon to open Education Modified 

• You can also access Education Modified from the left toolbar in both your Courses and Groups.

• After Clicking on Education Modified in either location, you will be given the option to 'Approve'. Please select this option to finalize the installation. Important: If this step is not completed, Education Modified cannot begin the process of uploading your data.
