Required Update to SSO Script for Districts Using Schoology for SSO | Schoology Learning currently supports both MD5 and SHA-256 signature methods for Remote Authentication and defaults to MD5. On June 24, 2024, Schoology Learning will no longer support the MD5 signature method. Districts must update their remote authentication scripts to use the SHA-256 signature method before June 24 to prevent disruption to Remote Authentication logins. This will not affect other SSO methods such as SAML or LDAP. | |
SAML Cert Update | We will be updating our SAML signing certificates used in SAML-based SSO. Districts using SAML to log in, you will be required to update your SAML to successfully access Schoology via your SAML-based SSO after April 15, 2024. This excludes ClassLink users. | |
Updates to Google Drive Resource App Coming in March | As a result of changes to Google’s security policies concerning their Drive APIs, the Schoology Google Drive Resource app is changing this March. On opening our current version of the Google Drive Resource app, users can view all of their Google Drive content directly in the app. With the new changes, users will have to go through another step of selecting which of their Google Drive content they want to give Schoology access. After selecting the specific content they want to include for Schoology, the rest of the workflow would remain unchanged. We will share an update with our help article to guide you through any questions. | |
New Schoology Apps in the App Center | Classwise - Classwise is a simple all-in-one solution for teachers to create assignments, increase class participation and trackclass progress. We help teachers unlock additional superpowers, improve student engagement and accelerate learning. |
