How to Import Materials to Schoology

Download your customized content from the Resource Hub and import it directly into Schoology.

Written by Ebony

Note: The Import feature is available only if your school or district has enabled Google Classroom through your Hub administrator. If you don't see an Import button contact math@moderclassrooms.org.

The Import feature for Schoology works in two parts. First, customize and download a file from the Resource Hub. Then upload that file into Schoology.


How to access Import:

Select Import in the upper-right corner of any Module or Topic page.

Part 1: In the Resource Hub

  1. Review your import setup. This screen shows all the activity types and content settings that will be used to generate your lesson content.

    Scroll down to review your settings like,Video & Notes and External Tool Sources. External tools like IXL or Khan Academy will only be included if they are enabled for your school or district. Tools that are not enabled will show as Not included.



    Select Edit preferences in the upper right if you want to make changes. When you're ready, select Continue to Review.

  2. Check each activity before your file is generated. This is your opportunity to review the directions that will be sent to students, and to edit or add links to any lesson resources before the file is downloaded.



    If an activity shows Missing link or No resources linked yet, you can:

    • Select + Add resource to add a link to that activity.

    • Select the ··· menu next to an existing resource to Edit URL or Delete it.


    Any changes you make here are saved when you continue. If you need to undo your changes, select Reset in the banner at the top of the screen.



    When everything looks correct, select Continue to Download.

  3. Your content is ready to download as a Common Cartridge (.imscc) file.

    Select Download .imscc File. Once the download is complete, you'll see a confirmation with the file name and timestamp.



    Select Go to Schoology to open Schoology, or locate the downloaded .imscc file on your computer and continue to Part 2.

Part 2: In Schoology

  1. Open Schoology and log in to your account.

  2. Select Resources in the top navigation bar, then select My Resources.

  3. Navigate to the folder where you want to import your content, or create a new one using Add Resources → Add Folder.

  4. Select the small dropdown arrow next to the folder name in the left sidebar, then select Import.

    The Import Collection window will open. Select Attach File, locate your downloaded .imscc file, and attach it.

    Select Next to begin importing.

  5. Schoology will begin transferring your files. A banner at the top of the screen will let you know the transfer is in progress. You can access a list of your transferred files from your Transfer History area.

    When the transfer is complete, your content will appear as a folder in My Resources, ready to add to your course.
