Schoology Learning release notes: December 2025

New Schoology apps in the App Center

DeltaMath LTI 1.3

This app offers SSO, rostering, and grade passback. Teachers can create and push assignments to students.

SKIES Learn

SKIES is the easiest way to create and deliver collaborative lessons. It's like a class bulletin board, but bigger, and everyone can branch out from others' ideas endlessly.

Add informational cards containing rich text, photos, drawings, web links, and more. Slip in questions to kick off a discussion. Attach quiz questions to discover what everyone else knows.

Teachers, it's never been easier to make a lesson -- and students, it's never been easier to add to one. Great for formative assessment, labs, discussions, group work, and student presentations.

Support for multiple building associations in Schoology-PS SIS integration

Schoology now automatically syncs all active building associations for students and staff from PowerSchool SIS. Any changes made in SIS - adding, updating, or removing associations - are instantly reflected in the Schoology User management interface, eliminating manual updates and reducing errors. Administrators always have an accurate, up-to-date record of building assignments within Schoology.

Note: To use this update, districts must be on PowerSchool SIS version 25.12.0 or later. The change only affects users with student, teacher, or standard staff roles. Staff assigned custom roles, for example, counselors are not affected.

Flags will persist after grading in Gradebook

Flags, such as Late, Incomplete, or Exempt, in the gradebook will continue to be displayed and associated with a material even after it has been graded. This will increase transparency in the grading process by reducing ambiguity and potential miscommunication between educators, students, and guardians.

App installation placement selection improvements

We have resolved an issue whereby installing an app for users in Schoology was only successful if both the App Center dropdown menu and the User Profile navigation menu were selected. Previously, selecting only one placement, such as the dropdown menu, would prevent installation from completing as expected.

Key changes:

• End users now see a single checkbox for the Users realm and cannot select individual placements; apps will be installed in all publisher-selected locations.

• Resources is now grouped with the Users realm for both publishers and end users for improved clarity.

• Installation works with any placement chosen by the publisher.

New Assignments tab in Schoology homepage

A new assignment tab on the Schoology homepage will be available for students. The Assignments tab will give a quick view of materials from the student’s courses. Districts will need to make this tab available for their students using the Feature Options in School Settings.

Skyward Q for SIS Connect: OAuth1 fallback ends

OAuth1 will no longer be supported for Skyward Q in SIS Connect. Districts configured with OAuth1 will need to update their credentials in Skyward. Users who have already upgraded their credentials have no action to take.

Automated distribution of course templates moves to general availability

Map course templates directly to courses to automatically populate new sections from the template. Save time from manually sending templates to new sections no matter how sections are provisioned into Schoology. For more information, see Automated course template distribution.

Group enrollment import for group admins

Group administrators, whose system administrator has granted them user permission, will be able to import enrollments to groups they administer.

Manage user profile photos via auto-import

User profile photos can now be updated through the auto-import area of School Management’s Imports. System administrators can now schedule update to user profile photos through the existing auto-import screen.

Auto-import de-duplication changes

We are updating the auto-import processing experience to harden against duplication of jobs and data. Where applicable, we will queue scheduled jobs after manual imports or prevent multiple imports jobs from being run at the same time to avoid the duplication of data and improve auto-import integrity.

PowerBuddy tools features

Modify the text of generated content using the quick AI actions menu, which allows you to translate text, adjust the tone, shorten or lengthen text, and adjust the complexity.

Recommended tools

Instructors have quicker access to relevant PowerBuddy tools. A subset of tools will be displayed when recommended for the launch point in Schoology. Use the drop-down menu to review all tools.
