Introducing Google Assignments LTI 1.3 with Schoology rubric support

With the new Google LTI 1.3 Assignments app, you can now choose Google or Schoology to host your grading experience. This will provide more flexibility of grading options and streamline the Schoology submission and grading experience for Schoology-graded Google assignments.

Impersonation

District admin roles that belong to the district building and have both Administer Users and Administer School permissions can impersonate within their district.

PowerBuddy for Learning student chat translation support

Student chat translation support will be available for paid PowerBuddy for Learning customers. Administrators don’t need to configure any PowerBuddy settings. Teachers or course administrators manage who can update their language.

Teachers:

• Manage the option that allows students to use the language selector in PowerBuddy.

• To turn on the language selector, navigate to the PowerBuddy options and then click to activate the language selector option.

Students:

• The PowerBuddy language is set to match the Schoology language

  • For example, if Schoology is set to Spanish, then PowerBuddy will initially respond in Spanish.

• Students can change the language using the language selector.

• PowerBuddy will begin using the selected language during the next prompt, and suggestions will be translated to the chosen language.

• The language selection will persist for a few PowerBuddy sessions to avoid having to update multiple times.

PowerBuddy chat supports French, but Schoology does not. Students can change the PowerBuddy chat language to French, and PowerBuddy will respond in French. However, Schoology will remain in English, including the PowerBuddy chat modal and disclaimer.
