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.

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

1. From the Courses menu at the top of the screen, select the course in which you're adding the assignment.
2. 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.
3. Click Add Assignment.
   
4. From the Create Assignment screen, click OneDrive Assignments to open your OneDrive.
5. If necessary, click Connect to approve the app and log in to your OneDrive account.
   
   Note: Instructors and Students must also be logged into a Microsoft account through their browser to work on and submit assignments using the OneDrive app.
6. 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.
7. Select the file from your OneDrive to attach it to the assignment. When your students access your Schoology assignment, they will be able to make a copy of this file that they can work on and submit back to you from directly within Schoology.
   
8. 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.
9. Fill in the rest of the assignment and click Create.

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.

Managing the Assignment from the OneDrive App

The assignment is now available in the course.

Click the gear icon in the right margin to make updates as you would with your other Schoology course materials.

Click the assignment itself to open it.

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

• Assignment
• 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.
  

  Note: 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.

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 Document, a copy of your original file will be created and the document will appear here.

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.

Submissions Tab

The Submissions tab displays a list of students who have submitted the assignment. Select a student’s name to view his or her document.

From the Submissions tab you may:

• Click into the grade input field along the top of the document header to grade the submission, enter a score, or add a comment.
• Click the Exceptions icon .
  
• If you're using a rubric to grade the assignment, click the rubric icon to and add scores and comments for the assignment.
  
• Click the Unsubmit button below the student name to move the assignment back into the In Progress tab and enable the student to continue working on the assignment.
• Click Open to provide feedback using native Microsoft features, including commenting and annotation tools, as well as advanced editing tools like insert math formula and insert charts.
• Use the filter along the top of your list of students to filter by:
  • Needs Grading
  • Graded
  • On Time
  • Late

Student View

The student view of the OneDrive Assignment displays the Assignment and My Document tabs.

• The Assignment tab displays the Assignment Description, including the due date. If you're using a rubric to grade the assignment, it also displays in this tab.
• Students must click the My Document tab to generate their copies of your OneDrive file.
• Once the copy is created and appears in the My Document tab, students must click Edit, which will open a new tab for students to edit their copies of your original document in OneDrive.

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.

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.
