App Center

Configure apps at the building level

Apps featured in the App Center are typically installed and configured at the district level in Schoology and cannot be configured separately for each school building. However, some LTI Apps require each school or building to have its own access credentials when the license is not distributed at the district level. System Administrators can configure LTI Apps for specific schools in their organization with the following steps:

Step 1 - Install the app from the App Center

1. Click the App Center icon at the top of Schoology, then click App Center.

2. Locate the app you wish to install, then click its title.

3. Click Install LTI App.

4. Click I Agree to the terms to continue with the installation.

5. Click Add to Organization.

6. You will be taken to Organization Apps to continue the installation.

7. Click Install next to the app.

8. Select either All Schools or Specific Schools.

   • Select All Schools to install the app with the same settings for every school. Installation settings configured for All Schools can't be changed for individual schools.

   • Select Specific Schools if you need different installation settings for different schools. After installation, use the All Schools drop-down menu in Organization Apps to switch between schools and configure each one individually.

9. Depending on the app, you may have the option to install for All Users, All Courses, Course Admins only or All Course Members, and All Groups. Select the appropriate options for each school.

10. Click Submit.
