Using mobile offline mode on the Schoology Android app

Schoology Offline Mode lets you access your course materials without an internet connection by downloading them ahead of time over Wi-Fi, including:

• Folders

• Assignments

• Pages

• Files

• Discussions

Offline materials are review-only. You won’t be able to:

• Submit assignments.

• Post in discussions.

• Complete tasks with student completion rules.

Download course materials

1. While connected to Wi-Fi, launch the Schoology app on your Android device and navigate to your desired course.

2. On the course Materials page, click the arrow in the corner of your screen to download course materials onto your device.

3. Tap Confirm to continue with the download.

4. Choose to make only the materials available for offline access with or without files and attachments.

   • If you select Without Files & Attachments, you will only be able to review the titles and descriptions of the Schoology materials.

   • If you select With Files and Attachments, all files and attachments are downloaded in their original form and stored locally on your device. You will be able to open and review the attachments from the material items in the course to which they are attached.

5. Wait a few moments for the materials to download. The green checkmark indicates the materials have been synced to your device and are now available when you go offline.

Using Schoology in offline mode

When you're offline, any materials you've downloaded will still be available in the Schoology app. Just open the app and go to your course as usual. Materials that are not available offline, such as tests, quizzes, assessments, external tools, and links, are inactive.

Offline materials are review-only. You can’t submit assignments, post in discussions, or complete tasks.

If the Course Admin updates materials after they've been downloaded, this message is displayed for students: Updated content available. Tap to sync.

Tap the sync icon to update your downloaded materials to the latest version.

Schoology offline materials and storage

Downloaded materials are saved in the app for offline use.

• If you log out, all offline content is automatically removed from your device.

• You can also delete downloaded materials manually to free up space when you no longer need them.

Delete downloaded materials

1. Tap the hamburger menu and then tap Settings.

2. Select Offline Storage Settings.

3. Select Remove Offline Content.

4. Tap Confirm.

A small amount of disk space will remain in use to support the app’s operations, so storage stats will be greater than zero.
