   Note:
   

   • The class roster on Wayground is synced to Wayground every time the teacher opens the Wayground LTI app from the Schoology course.
   • When new students click on the Wayground assignment link in their Schoology course, they are automatically added to the Wayground class and can begin the Wayground session immediately.
   • Linked sections in courses: For courses with multiple linked sections on Schoology, Wayground will sync the class roster for each section after at least one student from each section logs in to Wayground. Consequently, the entire class section roster will be synced.

If you want the resource to be graded or want to make any modifications to the assignment such as availability, due dates, or assignment title, click on the settings icon () next to the resource link, and select 'Edit' 

1. Check ()the 'Enable Grading' option to choose the appropriate points and grading category. This will ensure that the score from the Wayground session is scaled to the points you've selected and then synced to the grade book based on the relevant grading category.

2. You can also add or modify details like title, learning objectives, availability, or due dates — just like you do with any other Schoology assignment.

3. Once you're happy with the details, click on 'Save changes'.

And done! You have successfully assigned a Wayground resouce to a Schoology course! Your students can now participate in interactive Wayground sessions directly from their Schoology course page.
