Installing and using the Lessonbee App in Schoology

For School Administrators

• Log in to your Schoology instance as an administrator with access to install and configure apps.
• Visit the App Center once logged in, or access it directly using this link: https://app.schoology.com/apps

• Locate the product app named “Lessonbee” and click on it to view the details. Click on the blue Install LTI App button to begin the installation process.

• Next, you will be asked if this should be installed for your entire organization, or just you.  If you would like all of your teachers to have access to the app, select Add to Organization. We recommend this way.

• If you selected Add to Organization, you will be redirected to your Organization Apps section to complete the configuration.

• As the first step, you will have to configure the app by adding the consumer key and shared secret. Click on the “Configure” button, it will show you the form to submit your configuration keys. Please add the keys that you generated in the above section titled “Generating Consumer key and Shared secret”. Leave the Custom Parameters.

• As the next step, you will need to install the app for a list of courses where you want it to be available. You will have to select a list of courses. We recommend selecting all courses and making it available for course admins. 

• Once configuration is complete, school instructors/teachers can use it.

For Instructors/Teachers

• Navigate to the course you want to attach the app to. Click Materials from the left side menu and then click Add Materials; the Lessonbee app will show. If you don’t see the Lessonbee app there, please check with your school administrator to install and configure it properly as mentioned in above sections.
  
  
• Click the Lessonbee app as shown in the below image.

• Within the Lessonbee app, click My Courses to view content available to you at no additional cost through your Lessonbee membership.

• Click Add Content to have the content added to your Schoology course material as a link.

• Click the Show Code button below the content available to you within the My Courses tab. You will have to share this code with your students for them to access it.

• Lessonbee courses are added to the Schoology course material as an in-line link. Once you close the app window, please reload the Schoology page to see the newly added content.

• When a student clicks on this in-line course link, the Lessonbee app opens inside an iframe of Schoology with a prompt for students to enter their name and the access code that their teacher has shared earlier.

• Once students complete these details, they will see the course inside an iframe (as shown below) and they can complete the course without leaving Schoology.

• As Instructor/Administrator you can see all your available content and student registrations inside the Lessonbee app under the My Courses link.
