Here's how to connect your Schoology sections to Pivot Interactives classes. If you have multiple sections in Schoology, you can link them to individual Pivot Interactives classes or a single, "master" Pivot Interactives class.
Step 1: Create a Pivot Interactives assignment in Schoology
Connecting your Schoology sections to classes imported into Pivot Interactives from a rostering service requires that you connect an assignment. When you connect future assignments, you won't have to re-select which sections/classes to connect.
Click Add Materials.
Click Pivot Interactives.
The first time you do this, you'll be prompted to log into your Pivot Interactives account. Enter your Pivot Interactives account information.
Step 2: Creating a Pivot Interactives class the first Schoology section
You will be creating a Pivot Interactives class for each of your Schoology sections one at a time.
Click Add Pivot Class +
Fill in the information for each Pivot Interactives class you need to create.
Name - name the Pivot Interactives class whatever you'd like.

Make sure you've set the appropriate due dates, then click Assign.
Click the name of the assignment you just created, then click Connect Assignment
Step 3: Connecting additional Schoology sections
Click the assignment in Schoology that you just created.
The assignment will load in another tab. Close that tab to return to the Schoology tab.
Click the section name under the assignment title, then select the next section you need to connect from the dropdown.
You have two options here:
