Schoology Integration

World Book’s LTI integration with Schoology provides a simple way for students and teachers to access World Book content from within Schoology. When Schoology users install the World Book Online app, they will be able to authenticate through single-sign-on (SSO), eliminating the need to enter a username and password. This also automatically logs a user in to a personal My World Book Account so they can utilize features such as My Research and saving Timelines.

World Book’s LTI integration also reduces steps involved in incorporating World Book content into a Schoology course. Teachers can use the “deep linking” feature to add article links to Schoology courses. This feature is currently available for Kids, Student, and Advanced. Instructions on how to do this are described in the “deep linking” section that follows.

Adding a Link to World Book Online Articles:

World Book Online articles are great resources to support learning. Teachers can link specific articles into their Schoology Courses by following these directions:

1. Log into your Schoology account and go into one of your Schoology Courses.

2. Click on 'World Book Online' from the left side bar.

3. Choose which World Book online product you want to use.

4. Search for a topic or article you want to link and click on it to open the article.

5. Click on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner.

6. Select 'Share' from the drop-down menu and then select 'Copy Link'. If the link was copied correctly, you will receive a message saying the copying was a success.

7. Go back to your Schoology Course and click on 'Add Materials'.

8. Select 'Add File/Link/External Tool' from the drop-down menu.

9. Click on 'Link'.

10. Paste the link into the URL field, and title the article.

11. Click on the 'ABC' icon to ensure the article will display in a new window.

12. Click 'Add'.

The article will now be directly linked to your Schoology Course. When students click on the link, it will open in a new window.

You can also add it to an assignment by creating the assignment, clicking on the link icon inside of the assignment, and pasting the link there.

Deep linking integration instruction

Once the LTI app is installed, teachers can follow these steps to add World Book article links to Schoology courses. Below are instructions on how to add an article link from Kids. The steps for adding article links from Student and Advanced are the same.

1. Within your Schoology course, click on Add Materials, then select World Book Online.

2. The World Book Online super home page will display all products within your subscription, inside of Schoology.

3. Select Kids, Student, or Advanced to launch the respective product where you can find the article you wish to share in Schoology.

4. Click the Tools icon to reveal the list of options. From this menu, select Save and choose Save to Schoology.

Note: This will only appear under Tools when launched from within Schoology. Users will not see this option if they log in using other methods.

5. Save to Schoology will post the article to the Materials list for the course. All students with access to the course, now have access to this article within their course.

Groups

Users can launch and access content from World Book Online within Schoology groups. In addition to this, educators can add links to content under a group's resources for easy-access.

1. From the dashboard, select Groups and choose your desired group.
