Embedding a Microsoft File in a Schoology Course

Teachers can embed a Microsoft file right into their Schoology Courses. To do this, please follow these instructions.


1. Log into Schoology and click into the Schoology Course you want to embed the document into.

2. Click 'Add Materials' and then click 'Microsoft OneDrive' from the right side of the menu.

If this is the first time you are going into OneDrive this way, you will need to connect your accounts. Follow the prompts to allow this connection.

3. Click on the file you want to embed and then click 'Select'.

Your file is now embedded into your Schoology Course. 


Embedding a Microsoft File within a Page to Display Inline:

If you want this file visible without having to click on it, you can embed a Microsoft file within a page. Please follow these instructions.

Change the permissions on the Microsoft file:
1. Click on 'Share' in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Change the 'Share the link with' setting to 'Anyone'.
3. Under 'More settings', change it to 'Can view' and click 'Apply'.
4. 'X' out of the next screen.

Embed the file into a Schoology page:
1. When inside a Course, click on 'Add Materials' and select 'Add Page'.
2. Title your Page.
3. Click the 'Insert Content' icon and then select 'Microsoft OneDrive'.
4. At the bottom on, you will see an 'ABC' icon. Click on it to ensure it shows 'Display Inline' and then click 'Create'.
Your file is now embedded into your Schoology Course and is visible without click on the file itself. As the educator, you will also see the edit button. You can click on it to go into the file and edit it. The edits will refresh inside your Course or any Course you embedded it in.

When students go into their Schoology Courses, they will also see the embedded file. If you did not change the sharing permissions, they may be prompted to log into their Microsoft accounts to view the file. Once they log in, they can view the file.
