Inq-ITS and Schoology

Inq-ITS and Schoology?

Unfortunately, Inq-ITS doesn't work as intended when embedded in Schoology. Most students need to login with Google or Clever, plus, it is important for the screen to be large enough for students to be able to read the text on their screen. Thankfully, you can change your settings to make Inq-ITS pop out in its own window through Schoology, which will make everything work as planned!

First, select the lab that you want to share with students, and copy the shareable link. When you have the link copied, go over to Schoology and click on the plus sign to add materials.

From the menu that appears, select "Add File/Link/External Tool"

Select "Link" from the options that appear.

Fill out the information about the activity and who will be assigned it in Schoology, but do not click Add yet.

The final section of this page, Options, is where Inq-ITS runs into problems. The default option is to open links embedded in Schoology windows, but that causes problems with Inq-ITS. To stop these problems from happening, change the middle setting to be "Display in new window." Doing this makes the link pop-out as its own window instead of being embedded, which fixes the embedding problem.

Once you've done this, click Add and continue using Schoology as normal. As long as you make Inq-ITS pop up in its own window instead of being embedded, Inq-ITS will work with Schoology.

See the video below for a visual demonstration.
