This article shows teachers how to create an Annotations Assignment in Schoology

Annotations Assignments allow you to create an assignment that allows your students to annotate a file. Students can record their responses directly onto the file without having to download or print the document. This feature allows you to provide an attachment as part of the assignment without downloading or uploading it multiple times or assigning it individually to students.

This assignment type provides students with the following annotation options:

Add a text box

Add shapes, for example, circle, square, or rectangle

Highlight parts of the attachment

Pen tool for drawing and writing

Note: Type annotations (e.g., underline, highlight, and squiggly) will only work for text within an uploaded document. Type annotations will not work on images, even if the image contains text. The preferable file type is PDF.

Students have the following options:

Edit Draft: Students who have not submitted their assignment can resume working where they left off.

Resubmit Assignment: A student can return to an assignment if you want the student to try the assignment again.

Steps to Creating an Annotations Assignment

Navigate to your Schoology course and click the chevron to the left of one of your main folders to expand the folder.

Hover your mouse pointer directly below the location where you want to add the assignment until you see a green dashed line.

Left-click your mouse and then click Add Assignment .

Name: Enter the assignment name, which will be displayed inside your folder. Provide a unique and meaningful name for every assignment in your course. This makes it easy for you and your students to locate the assignment in the gradebook. For example, you can add the week or topic number to the beginning of the assignment name.

Additionally, at the end of the name, it’s very helpful to add the approximate amount of time it will take students to complete the assignment along with the number of points that can be earned.

Description: In the assignment description, provide clear and concise instructions on how to complete the assignment. Including an audio or video recording is recommended for your assignments to create a teacher presence and to enhance assignment instructions.

Use the rich text editor tools to apply formatting to the font; change the indent or alignment of selected text; insert a link, image, or table; spellcheck the description; apply paragraph headers; and switch between Visual and HTML.

REQUIRED: Per eAcademy course requirements, include the approximate amount of time it will take students to complete the assignment. Also include the number of points that can be earned.

Here are Assignment Instructions you can include in your Description, if desired.

~ Click Start Assignment to view the file. It may take a few moments for the file to appear.

~ Following the instructions, complete the worksheet using the annotations toolbar.

~ When finished, click Submit at the bottom right of the worksheet.

RESOURCE WITH STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

STUDENT-Submitting an Annotations Assignment in Schoology

Format Options: Select Annotations Assignment . Students will annotate their own copy of a file. Supported file formats include: DOC, DOCX, HTML, JPEG, JPG, PDF, PNG, PPT, PPTX, RTF, TXT, XLS, XLXS, and XML.

NOTE: Be aware that not every student has a Microsoft account. For best results, select a universal file format like a PDF file.

From your device, select the file you would like students to complete.

The file is now attached to the assignment.

REQUIRED - Due date and Time : All graded eAcademy assignments must have a Due date and time. To provide students with plenty of time to submit the assignment, set the time to 11:59 PM . This is a soft End Date and students can submit the assignment after this date unless you use the Lock feature (see Lock information at the bottom of this resource).

pts: Enter the number of points the assignment is worth.

Category: From the Category drop-down menu, select Assignments .

Period: From the Period drop-down menu, select the grading period that aligns with the Due date. DO NOT select Set as midterm/final . This may negatively impact student grades.

Factor: Leave the Factor setting at the default value.

[ NEW ] Collected Type: Checking the box will disable the ability to add a traditional score to the assignment in the gradebook. This is an Exception code that allows you to forgo traditional grading on a material. You can keep track of student work on assignments without impacting grading calculations as appropriate (e.g., Field Trip Forms). Enabling this setting will create a new column in the gradebook.

Scale/Rubric: Leave the Scale/Rubric setting at the default value.

Click Create .

If desired, you can change the Options at the bottom of the Create Assignment window.

Individually Assign: Use this setting to only display the assignment to one or more members of the course or a grading group.

Lock: This setting prevents students from making submissions.

By default, this feature is disabled. Click the Lock icon to get started. From the drop-down menu, select either Lock on… or Lock now . If you select Lock on… , enter the date and time you wish to lock the assignment.

Submissions Enabled: You can opt to disable submissions if the assignment does not require something in return from the student - for example, reading homework.

Published to students: Use this setting to display or hide the assignment from the student view. The assignment is published by default and immediately available to students.

Grade Statistics: When enabled, this setting displays the statistics for the assignment to the students, which is located in an icon above the assignment submissions.

Comments: This setting is enabled by default and allows students to comment on the assignment. Use care with this setting because students may think the Comment box is used for assignment submissions. You may want to disable this setting.

[ NEW ] Count in Grade: This setting is enabled by default.

If disabled, this setting allows you to exclude a material’s scores from the grade calculations. This allows you, students, and parents to know immediately if a material is used in grading.

An example might be a pre-test you don’t want to count in grade calculations. The assignment grade will appear in purple italics in the gradebook and will not impact a student’s overall grade.

Copy to Courses: This setting allows you to copy the assignment with the current settings and options to another course.

Viewing Student Submissions

Navigate to your Schoology course and click the assignment name.

Click one of the students listed under Submissions .

Review the student’s submission. Enter the grade and grade comments, check the box next to Show to student , and then click Submit .

Use the chevrons on the right and left of each submission to navigate to other students and continue grading any submitted assignments.

Click the x to the left of Submission Activity on the right side of the window to return to the assignment.

From the course landing page under Reminders on the right, you’ll see the total number of ungraded assignment submissions.

Creating an assignment with Turnitin

The administrator of your LMS must configure the Turnitin LTI integration before Turnitin assignments can be created. If you are also an administrator, visit our guide on configuring Turnitin in Schoology .

Once your administrator has configured the LTI integration in both Turnitin and Schoology, you may create a new Turnitin Assignment using the Turnitin External Tool. Follow the steps below to create an assignment.

Log in as a Schoology instructor.

From the top of any page within Schoology, select the Courses tab, then select the course in which you would like to create an assignment.

Select the External Tool option from the pop-up box.

The Tool Provider may be listed slightly differently as your administrator names your Turnitin tool.

Provide a title for your assignment.

If you require grading for the assignment, ensure Enable Grading is selected. Once selected, more settings will appear underneath the checkbox.

Add a total point value.

Set a due date and time .

Select a Category , Scale , and Period for your assignment. Please bear in mind that Turnitin currently only supports numerical grading when you set your Scale.

Your newly created assignment will now be listed within the chosen course. Select the assignment title to enter the Turnitin assignment inbox where you will be able to access the Turnitin assignment settings .

Use the rich text editor to format the instructions, add additional components such as tables, images, LaTex symbols, and many other options.

Assessment Settings

• Assessment has a time limit: Set a time limit for the assessment. Students who have not finished before the time limit is expired have their assessments automatically submitted with the answers they have completed.
• Assessment questions are randomly ordered: Enable Randomize Order to ensure that each student sees the questions on the assessment in a different and randomly selected order.

Show possible points for each question during the attempt: Hide or display how many points each question is worth for students taking the assessment.

If the number of points you designated in the Create Assessment screen is different than the total number of combined points for all the questions in the assessment, the possible points for each question displayed to a student during an attempt will update to reflect this difference. For example, if you make the assessment worth 100 points in the Create Assessment screen, and have 9 questions on the assessment worth 10 points each, the number displayed during an attempt is 11.11: (100/90) x 10.

Changes to Assessment Settings are reflected in all future attempts, as well as any attempts currently in progress. For example, students begin an assessment and you realize you set the time limit to 3 minutes instead of 30 minutes. You change the time limit to 30 minutes and save. You can now instruct students to exit the assessment and resume it–they will see the new time limit. However, changing these settings does not affect assessment attempts that students have already submitted.

Add Questions from an Item Bank to an Assessment

Once you have an item bank in Schoology, you can build assessments with items from the banks. You can add individual questions from an item bank, or you can add a randomized block of items from one or more item banks when you create your assessment.

To add individual questions from item banks to an assessment:

• In your course, create an assessment or select the name of the assessment into which you'd like to add items.
• In the Questions area, click Add From Item Bank .
• Navigate to the item bank you would like to import items from.
• Check the box next to each item you'd like to import. Use the Select all option to add all items.
• Enter the Set Points for each item. If none is set, it defaults to 1.
• Selected items are highlighted at the bottom for ease of reference. Use the links at the top to explore multiple item banks and select items from several banks.
• Once you are finished selecting items, click Add Items .
• To reorder items, drag and drop any item to the desired order.

To add a random selection of items from one or more item banks to an assessment:

• In the Questions area, click Add from Item Bank .

• The number of items that you want to generate from the bank.
• How many points each item is worth.
• Click Add Items .

Selected items are highlighted at the bottom for ease of reference. Use the links at the top to explore multiple item banks and select additional randomized items from several banks.

• Once you select randomized items, you cannot add individual questions in the same selection sequence. If you need to select additional individual items, complete the steps to add randomized items and then follow the steps above to add individual questions from an item bank.
• You may add both randomized items and individual items from the same item bank. Items that have been individually added to the assessment will not be included in the randomized set of items.
• Click Add Items to complete. Each set of randomized items is displayed as a single block in the Questions area.

Each assessment will contain the determined number of items from the selected item bank(s). Each student in the course receives a unique set of items. Even if students receive a few of the same items, they will appear in a different order, so no assessment is alike. This is helpful in maintaining the validity of your assessment results.

Manage Assessment Questions

Once you have added questions to your assessment, you’ll see them listed in the Questions area. In the Points field in the upper-right corner of each question, set the number of points the question is worth. A tally of the total number of questions and points in the assessment displays in the upper-right corner of the assessment.

Alternatively, if you’ve enabled students to view their submissions, they will see the point value for each question as you’ve set it, not updated to its gradebook equivalent. In the above example, students would see each question as worth 10 points, not 11.11, when reviewing their submission.

Hover over the More Options menu in each question and select from the following options:

• Copy — Adds a copy of the question to the bottom of the assessment. The name of the copied question is the same as the original, with COPY added in front. For example, a copy of Test Question is called COPY - Test Question .
• Delete — Removes the question from the assessment. You cannot restore a deleted question.
• Edit — Edit the number of randomized items that you want to generate from the bank and how many points per item.

Click Add Text at the top of the list of questions on the left to add additional instructions between questions anywhere in the assessment. For example, if you want to break the assessment into sections, you can add additional instructions for each section. Each question and text block displays to students on its own page in the assessment.

Student View

Students can access the assessment from anywhere they can access other graded materials:

• The Materials list on the main Course page.
• The Upcoming feed.
• The Calendar .

The Notifications feed.

Students click Start Attempt to begin the assessment.

Taking the Assessment

Students can navigate the assessment by clicking the question numbers along the bottom of the screen, or by using their keyboard tab and arrow keys. Students may only have one attempt in progress at a time.

Depending on the type of question, different actions are available to students when answering them:

• Drag and drop : Ordering, matching, and label image, for example.
• Rich text editor: Short answer and essay questions, for example.
• Math keyboards : Math short answer.
• Button selector: Multiple choice and true/false, for example.
• Drawing tool: Highlight image, for example.

Each of these functions may also be completed using the keyboard’s Tab, Arrow , and Enter keys, as well.

As students answer questions, their work saves automatically. Students can submit completed attempts from the review screen, which students can open at any time:

• Click the Review icon in the margin menu.
• Click Review in the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen from the last question in the assessment.

Students can also enable additional accessibility features from the Accessibility icon   including changing the color contrast or font size of the assessment. Additionally, they can click the Full Screen  icon to view the assessment in full-screen mode.

Students can flag any questions for review using the Flag tool. Click the Flag icon   within any question to add it to the flagged list. Click the flag icon again to remove a flag from a question. Students can view all flagged questions from the Review screen with the Flagged box checked:

Students can use the Eliminate Choices tool to rule out incorrect answers to help determine the correct one. Click the Eliminate Choices icon   and click any answer choice to eliminate:

Students can use the Protractor tool to populate on the screen while attempting the assessment:

Students can use the Notepad   tool to take notes during an assessment.

For subjective questions aligned with a rubric, the rubric icon   and link are displayed in the right margin that students can click to view the rubric.

Viewing Grades and Submissions

After students complete the assessment, grades for assessments without subjective questions (Short Answer/Essay type questions) are displayed in the students' Grades area.

Additionally, students can view submissions from the assessments page. If you’ve allowed for multiple attempts, the number of submitted and remaining attempts displays to the student. For example, if you’ve allowed three attempts, students who have already completed one attempt see You have made 1 of 3 attempts. You have 2 remaining . Students may only have one attempt in progress at a time.

The Previous Attempts table displays any previously submitted assessments with the following information:

• Attempt: The number of the attempt, with the one most recently started at the top.
• Status : In Progress or Submitted . Students do not see the Needs Grading status.
• Time Spent: Length of time the student spent on the attempt.
• Last Modified : The timestamp for the most recent time the student made changes to the attempt, including month and day, year, and time. This can be helpful when an attempt is resumable and students want to see the last time it was worked on.
• Action: If you’ve enabled student permission to view submissions, they can click View to open a completed attempt, or Resume to open and continue taking an assessment in progress. Currently, all In Progress assessment attempts are resumable.

The submissions page displays the students’ points earned over the number of points possible for each question, as well as the total points earned for the assessment:

Grading Assessments

After students complete the assessment, you can grade their submissions from the Grading area.

You can grade the assessment By Question or By Student . To grade by student, follow the instructions below. To grade by question, see Grade by Question for Assessments .

To grade student attempts:

• Open the assessment and click By Student from the Grading area.
• Click the student submission you want to grade in the table.

Alternatively, open the student’s assessment by clicking the puzzle piece icon in the gradebook cell corresponding to the student row and assessment column.

By Student Table

The By Student area displays information about students and assessment attempts.

• From the Filter dropdown menu, choose to display all students, or only students who haven’t yet submitted an attempt.
• The total number of students assigned the assessment displays in parentheses next to the Students column label. Click the down-arrow menu to the right and choose to display students by first or last name, and in alphabetical or reverse-alphabetical order.

The Gradebook Points column displays the students’ points earned for the assessment over the total number of points possible. A dash displays for unsubmitted or ungraded assessments. If you’ve enabled multiple attempts, Gradebook Points displays the points for the version you set in Final grade is determined by in the Student Settings area: Highest Score or Last Score . This is also the score that displays in the student assessment view and the course gradebook.

If the number of points you designated in the Create Assessment screen is different than the total number of combined points for all the questions in the assessment, the total displayed in Gradebook Points will reflect this difference. For example, if you make the assessment worth 100 points in the Create Assessment screen, and the combined total of all the questions is 90, the number in Gradebook Points will update to a 100 point scale. A score of 75/90 on the attempt, for example, will display as 83.3 in Gradebook Points, as 75/90 = 83.3 on a 100 point scale.Change the assessment score manually by clicking the score for the assessment in the Gradebook Points field and adding a new score. In this example, the instructor has entered a score of 75 for the assessment. Click clear override to remove the manually entered score.

Scores Pending – Once the student submits an attempt, the assessment enters Scores Pending status for a brief period while questions are automatically graded.

• In Progress – The student has started an attempt but has not made a submission yet.
• Needs Grading – If the assessment contains subjective questions, it updates to Needs Grading status and the course admin must grade the subjective questions.
• Completed – After all questions have been graded, the status changes to Completed , and the score updates in the course gradebook and in student views.
• The Last Modified column shows the timestamp for the most recent time the student made changes to the assessment, including month and day, year, and time. This can be helpful when an attempt is resumable and you want to see the last time a student worked on it.
• The Elapsed Time column shows how long the student has spent on the attempt.
• Tap or move your mouse over the More Options menu and select from two options:
• Submit/Unsubmit : For submitted assessments, select Unsubmit to place the attempt back into In Progress so that the student can resume it. Any work the student had previously completed is saved for them to come back to. For example, if a student accidentally submitted an assessment before completing, select Unsubmit to allow the student to finish and resubmit. For unsubmitted assessments, click and select Submit to move the assessment attempt into a Completed state. The student will not be able to resume this attempt once you submit it.

Delete : Delete the student’s submitted attempt. For example, if you want to allow the student to retake the assessment without enabling additional attempts for all students.

Grading a Student Attempt from the Assessment

Click anywhere on a student’s submitted attempt to open it for grading. Add scores in the box next to student responses:

• Grade any subjective questions that require manual scoring.
• Overwrite any auto-scored questions.
• Click clear override to remove the score you entered. If the question already had an automatically calculated score, remove the override to revert back to this score.

The Attempt Score field in the upper-right corner updates automatically as you add or change question scores.

• Attempt score is a tally of the number of points achieved over points possible for each student attempt – you cannot edit it directly.
• To change a student’s attempt score, manually increase or decrease the points awarded on individual questions. To change a student’s overall assessment grade, change the gradebook points from the By Student view or from the Course Gradebook.

Kami and Schoology

Are you ready to level up your Schoology experience? In this video, you’ll learn how to create Kami assignments in Schoology and easily share them with your students.

Hiya, I’m Vanessa. I’m on the community team here at Kami and I love supporting and cheering on our educators. But more importantly, I love sharing top tips to make your lives even easier. Today I’m going to show you how Kami and Schoology works so well together. Getting set up is super simple, just make sure you and your students have the Kami extension installed. First, let’s dive straight into Kami and start creating an assignment for our class. For this assignment, I’m going to use this Bubble Map Template from the Kami Library. As you can see, I’ve already added in text boxes invoice comment instructions, but I want to add one more touch before I sign it out to my students. So I’m going to use the Add Media tool to drop an image in the middle. Another awesome thing about Kami is that all your work is automatically saved to either your Google Drive or OneDrive to a specific Kami Uploads folder, keeping all your Kami files in one place. Now that the assignment is ready to be assigned, let’s click on the Sharing button up here. Here you can see your unique Kami sharing link general sharing permissions, plus download and print permissions. I’m going to copy the unique sharing link. And now we’re ready to move on to the next step in Schoology. So let’s hop on over there. 

Here we are in Schoology. With that Kami link and I copied earlier, I can quickly create an update in Schoology for quick collaboration. I’m going to click the link button, paste in the Kami link and give it a title and click Attach. I can also hit the bell button. If I want to make it an announcement. I want to make this an assignment. So I’m going to go to materials and from the drop down menu, I’m going to select the Kami option. It’s really important that you remember the steps so you get the full Kami experience. From here I’ll choose my file and I know where my work is because conveniently Kami saves everything to my Kami Uploads folder. So we’ll go to Google Drive and I’ll grab that file. I also have the option to control features where I can adjust the camera tools my students can access to complete the assignment, I’m actually only going to allow my students to use a few Kami tools to complete this assignment. And here is my Schoology window. Here I can confirm the due date, choose a category and I will save the changes. My assignment has now been sent out to my students. If you ever want to make any edits to your newly created assignment, click the Edit Template button to make some changes to your file before your students access to the assignment. Students received their assignment as normal in Schoology, and they can click the assignment directly to open it into Kami. Over on the toolbar, you can see the Feature Control selections that I’ve put in place. Once they finish their assignment, they can click Submit and see the celebratory confetti. Now that we’re ready to grade, open the Kami assignment in Schoology and click Open Grader. Here you’ll be able to monitor student’s work even before they click the Submit button. So make sure to take full advantage of this awesome feature when needed. I’ve marked up and left some feedback already. So to finish it off, I’ll leave a grade comment and hit post. 

And there we have it. Now you’re ready to start your first Kami assignment with Schoology remember to have fun with your own content and Chemi create dynamic learning experiences and let me help you keep making connections. Thanks for tuning in.
