Troubleshooting
There is a known bug in Wayground (Quizizz) where students can score more points than possible on Wayground (Quizizz) Schoology assignments. The Wayground (Quizizz) engineers are working on the issue. In the meantime, please manually override the scores in the Schoology gradebook.
We will have integration with Wayground (Quizizz Pro) with Schoology. For this to work just make sure your Primary Email in Schoology Settings is the @monet.k12.ca.us email address. Here is a video how to check and fix if it is not.
Linked Sections
Currently, Wayground (Quizizz) does not support linked sections in Schoology. However, you can still use Quizizz with your linked sections! All you have to do is treat your linked courses like separate courses and create a Quizizz assignment for each individual section. The video above shows the process of how to assign and identify which Quizizz assignment belongs to which section.
Categories
When creating assignments with Wayground (Quizizz Pro), Quizizz is "helpful" and creates a new category called Quizizz and assigns that category to all of your Quizizz activities. However, if you sync grades, this can cause an issue because the Quizizz category is not mapped to any PowerSchool categories. You can fix this in one of two ways:
You can edit each Quizizz activity and manually change the category from Quizizz to one of your existing categories. The Bulk Edit feature in Schoology can make quick work of this. However, you will need to remember to make that change for each new Quizizz activity, which means slightly more work for each assignment.
You can map Quizizz to Powerschool, which will allow it to sync. From Schoology, access your PowerSchool configuration and choose which category you want to map Quizizz to. Bonus tip - you can double up categories! Check out the video above to learn how to add another Schoology category to an existing map. The benefit of this is this is a one-time fix and all your assignments will sync.
