Set up the Schoology integration: Admins

Flip and Schoology have collaborated to connect their platforms and make it easier for educators to share Flip with their students.

Important: 

• If Flip is not available in the app store, you can set up this integration to use Flip on Schoology.
• This  article is intended for administrators. If you’re an educator, review the steps to set up the integration.

This integration helps:

• Connect Flip topics to Schoology assignments: All videos in those Flip topics will show up in Schoology assignments.
• Students access Flip topics from their Schoology accounts: Students can find Flip videos directly in Schoology.

There are multiple ways to set up this integration. These steps show administrators how to integrate Flip to their Schoology courses and assignments:

Step 1: Prepare to integrate

Important: If you’re an individual educator, you must install the integration yourself.
