Overview

NoRedInk's Schoology integration allows you to seamlessly create NoRedInk assignments for your classes all within Schoology. Assignments created in NoRedInk will draw from your existing class rosters in Schoology, and NoRedInk grades will automatically sync to your Schoology gradebook.

Accessing NoRedInk as an External Tool in Schoology

To begin creating a NoRedInk assignment from Schoology, navigate to a course and section you want to create a NoRedInk assignment for and click on the “Add Materials” drop down. Select NoRedInk.

Connecting Schoology to your NoRedInk account

The first time you access NoRedInk from Schoology, you'll be asked to link Schoology to an existing NoRedInk account. You can sign in to your NoRedInk account using Google SSO, Clever SSO, or your NoRedInk username and password directly from Schoology.

Use an existing NoRedInk account

If you are already logged in to your NoRedInk account, you will see a welcome screen in Schoology that looks like the image below. To proceed with connecting your account with Schoology, click "Yes, use this account.

Depending on how your account was set up, you can log in using an email address or username and a password, log in with an account already linked with Google SSO, Clever SSO, or your NoRedInk username and password

Note: Clever rostering will be disabled when teachers log in through Schoology using an existing Clever-linked NoRedInk account. You will be able to continue using Clever single sign-on to log in, but rostering will be done through Schoology.

Create a new NoRedInk account

If you do not yet have a NoRedInk account, you can click the "Sign up as a teacher" button on the Welcome screen to create a new account.

On the next screen, choose how you would like to sign up.

To link your account with Google or Clever to use single sign-on, select one of these options. Follow the prompts on the next screen to log in to your Google or Clever account.

Alternatively, you can create your own username and password to use for logging in.

Select your school

When you get to the welcome screen below, select one of the options provided. If you accidentally select something by accident, click the "edit" button that appears to go back a step.

Complete the steps that follow by entering information about your school or company. Teachers in a K-12 school in the US will be able to search for their school by name, ZIP, or city using the search field provided. If you do not see your school listed, click "My school isn't coming up" to manually enter the information.

Activating Premium

As long as the NoRedInk account you are using is associated with your Premium school, you should automatically have access to Premium content at the start of the school year.

If you receive a message that your account is not currently using Premium, you'll need to enter your school's Premium code. You can retrieve this code from your school or department technology administrator, then enter it in the field shown below. After this, click "Activate Premium" to confirm.

Creating a NoRedInk assignment in Schoology

After selecting NoRedInk and logging in, you'll begin creating an assignment. On this screen, you can continue an existing Unit, browse our Assignment Library to create a new assignment, or input a link that's been shared with you to make a copy of an assignment.

Clicking "Browse Library" will take you to the Assignment Library, where you can build and preview assignments as well as create assignments based on state standards and test. There is some more information on browsing and creating assignments here:

Note: The due date you set here won’t sync to Schoology. If you later change the due date in Schoology, you’ll need to do so on noredink.com (or vice versa) to keep them in sync.

Creating or continuing a unit in Schoology

Clicking "Continue Unit" will allow you to create a follow-up Practice or Quiz assignment from an existing unit.

First, locate the assignment from which you'd like to create or continue a Unit. Next to the assignment, click "Create unit" (or "Continue unit" for existing Units.)
