Info

Note: FYI, we noticed in our testing, that if you enter 100 points for a lesson that does not have 100 points, for example your SoftChalk lesson has 3 points, then the score for your lesson in the Schoology gradebook will reflect a percentage. For example, if you got 1 item correct, the score would be 33.33 in the Schoology gradebook.

6. Your LTI link will appear in your Materials area.

(At this point there will also be a column in your gradebook for this item.)
