Schoology New Instructor Account

[cbehnke]

Hello! I'm currently in the process of trying to setup a new instructor account on Schoology as I'm going to be using it heavily at my new school with sharing content from my PLC.

However, when I go to Schoology Learning register and click on instructor it just automatically sends me to the Getting Started Guide for Schoology.

There's no indication anywhere on the page of how to actually create a new account and step one asks me to login to my Schoology account in order to access the Schoology Learning support page. But since I can't create an account that's rather difficult.

Any help with the issue would be greatly appreciated!

It wont let me create account either for Schoology has Instructor. I don't  know how to. If you figure it out please let me know.

Hi @cbehnke, @Beachaj1
 

If you are looking to create a basic account for an Instructor then, currently, we have discontinued to allow the creation of new basic accounts. And if you are working with a district that has an Enterprise Schoology Account then you would need to connect with your Schoology Admins at your district, who can create a new Instructor account for you.

I'm still in the process of finding out if our district has schoology however, if they do not can individual teachers purchase a schoology account?

[jamiem7]

Schoology can be purchased at the organization level and is not available at the individual level.  I will reach out to you in a case to determine if your school or district is using Schoology.

I have read your post and I am in the same situation (I cannot signo up to a new account as instructor), so the question is when will we be allowed to sign up as an instructor and participate in all on line activities as a teacher? Thank you.

Hi @Profesor,

Schoology can be purchased at the organization level and is not available at the individual level. If you are looking to create a new Instructor account as a basic user then we have currently discontinued that option for Schoology and if you are working with a school district and want to use Schoology at the enterprise level then I recommend reaching out to the Schoology administrators in your school who should be able to create an Instructor account for you.

That is extremely disappointing news.

I know... is there news of this option getting re-enabled soon?

Hi @j-er,

If you are looking to create a basic account for an instructor then, currently we have discontinued allowing the creation of new basic accounts. Schoology can be purchased at the organizational level and is not available at the individual level.

Currently, we do not have any information to share that this is getting re-enabled.  If that decision is ever made we will communicate this to you through PowerSchool Community.

What is the purpose of not allowing individual accounts? That really just makes me like Canvas that much more because as an educator, I know that systems come and go. Canvas assured me that my paid educator content that I create will not be lost. I can migrate all of it to my free account.

Looks like just another business decision instead of educational.

Very disheartening.

I second what CultivateLearn wrote!!! Please give instructions access to a basic free account so that the material I've created through one division could be transferred over to another!

Hi @jazzyonherway

Unfortunately, we no longer support creating basic accounts at the individual level, so there is no option to transfer the materials. You would need to re-create your material.

Hi, I need to create an account as a teacher, I can see my school exists in the list: François Vatelschool

What is the second step? What do I must to do?

Hi @JuanCarlos

If you are looking for options to create a teacher account then we recommend reviewing this thread for options available as a Basic or an Enterprise level Schoology user.

[j-er]

Hi! I looked through this thread but I saw no way of making a new teacher account as a basic user.... what are the solutions available?

[CultivateLearn]

I'm looking for the same. Sadly, the thread reveals that basic user accounts have been disabled. They are not offering them any more.

It seems that it would be nice if the company just posted that on their site instead of having the REGISTER button take you to PowerSchool and support pages.

[CultivateLearn]

Same problem here. Very frustrating. It takes me to PowerSchool where I registered, but that account is not recognized in Schoology.

It appears the website team needs to fix the links for creating accounts.

Es un engaño el que les permitan registrarse pensando que se están registrando a Schoology, pero que realmente solo se estén dando de alta a la comunidad, sin poder usar Schooology como herramienta de apoyo para dar un curso.

Hi @carlos_mendoza,

Por lo tanto, desactivaremos temporalmente la posibilidad de que las nuevas cuentas de instructor se registren en Schoology Basic, la edición gratuita para el aula de Schoology Learning. Los usuarios existentes de Schoology Basic seguirán teniendo acceso a sus cuentas y pueden estar seguros de que sus estudiantes y padres aún podrán inscribirse en Schoology Basic en www.schoology.com.

Si está buscando crear una cuenta de Schoology a nivel empresarial, le recomiendo que se comunique con los administradores de Schoology en su distrito escolar, quienes deberían poder crear una nueva cuenta de Schoology para usted.

Además, PowerSchool Community, help.powerschool.com es un sitio web/plataforma donde los usuarios pueden interactuar entre sí para discutir sus problemas y ayudarse mutuamente a resolverlos y pueden acceder a recursos como artículos de la base de conocimientos, grabación de horas de oficina, etc. Considerando que, Para registrarse en Schoology, debe ingresar a app.schoology.com.
