Integrating Classwork.com assignments into your Schoology courses is very simple. Once your admin has set up Classwork.com as an external tool (see "Before you Begin" below), you'll just create assignments using the "Schoology" delivery method in Classwork.com, then copy the generated weblink into "External Tool" materials in your Schoology course.

These links are different than other assignment links, and allow Schoology and Classwork.com to communicate. That permits Schoology to identify the students to Classwork.com when they start assignments, so they don't need to login, and it lets Classwork.com send their scores back to the gradebook in Schoology. It's a great integration that can save you tons of time!

Here's how to set it up!

Before You Begin

Has your Schoology Administrator already set up Classwork.com as an External Tool in your system? Classwork.com must be installed as an External Tool Provider by your Administrator before you begin using it in courses. If it has not been set up yet, have your Schoology administrator contact us at support@classwork.com for more information.

Special Note July 2025: The app's URL has changed from app.teachermade.com to app.classwork.com. Schoology needs to know about both URLs so your administrator should install a second tool as "Classwork.com." Send this instructional link to your admin: Schoology: How do I Set up Classwork.com as an External Tool?
