Syncing Assignments to Schoology

Kira lets you sync the assignments you create in Kira to your Schoology account. That way, the materials you assign to your students exist in both Kira and Schoology and nothing gets lost.

There are two ways to sync: while you assign a lesson or course or later from the Classes page in Kira. This guide covers both, plus how to resync after you make changes.

Before you begin:

  • The class you're syncing to must be linked to Schoology. Syncing is only available for Schoology-linked classes.

Method 1: Sync while you assign

Step 1: Open the Assign modal

After you've generated a lesson or course in Kira, select Assign in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Choose your classes

On the first page (Step 1 of 4: Select target groups), select the Schoology-linked class or classes you want to assign the lesson or course to, then select Next.

Step 3: Set dates and settings

On the second page, you have the option to choose an availability date and a due date. On the third page, configure the assignment settings. Select Next to continue through both.

Step 4: Choose which classes to sync to Schoology

On the fourth page (Step 4 of 4: Choose which classes to sync to Schoology), select the classes you want to add this assignment to in Schoology, then select Assign.

Where your assignments appear in Schoology

In Materials. Open the Schoology course you synced to and select Materials.

Method 2: Sync later from the Classes page

You can also sync from the Assignments tab on the Classes page in Kira.

If you've assigned work to a Schoology-linked class but haven't synced it yet, a Sync to Schoology button appears at the top of the Assignments tab. Select it to sync those assignments.

Resyncing after changes

Once an assignment is synced, the button becomes Resync to Schoology. Use it when you've edited an assignment in Kira after syncing it, or to push an additional assignment you've added to a class that already has synced assignments.

Selecting Resync to Schoology opens a modal with two options:

  • Overwrite in Schoology: Replace the name, dates, and points on Schoology with the updated values from Kira.

  • Create in Schoology: Add the assignment to Schoology. Note that course assignments may create multiple graded items in Schoology.

Choose the option you want, then select Resync.
