New Course and Group Profile Photo Options

We added the option to select from a set of pre-populated images to use as your Course or Group profile photo. Course Admins will be able to choose from a selection of 15 Course images, and Group Admins will have the option to choose from a selection of 7 Group images.

Common Cartridge Converter

• Schoology has built a Common Cartridge Converter that can convert a Common Cartridge v1.1 package into a Common Cartridge v1.2 package. This converter can be used to seamlessly migrate content built in other systems that use v1.1 into your Schoology Resources.

Decaying Average Mastery Calculation (Enterprise only)

• The Decaying Average formula is a calculation method that places more weight on recently scored materials, thus displaying an objective score that is most indicative of a student's current mastery level.
• We added Decaying Average as a new mastery score calculation method available under Mastery Settings. This option includes the ability to enter your own decay rate, with a pre-populated default decay rate of 75%.

  • Beginning July 1, 2018, Decaying Average will be the default calculation method for student mastery reporting in newly-created courses.
