In Exploros, everything is organized by the classes you create, so to see learning experiences in your app, you must create at least one class. If you use Schoology, you can import a Class and all the students in it with a single click! Furthermore, all students will automatically get Exploros accounts and be able to access them via Schoology.

Here's how you import a Schoology Class

1. Log into Schoology. If Exploros was added by your admin for your district, it will appear in your courses. (If not, an administrator from your district needs to set up your subscription or you can add Exploros to Schoology yourself.)

2. Click the link "Exploros App"

3. If you already have an Exploros account, authorize Exploros and proceed to Step 4. If you do not have an Exploros account you will be directed to sign up as a Teacher. Choose a Bundle, enter your school zip code, select your campus from the list, and sign up. NOTE: Make sure to select your campus — in Exploros, subscriptions are tied to campuses so if you do not correctly select your campus your account will not inherit school subscriptions.

4. Once in Exploros, open the side menu by clicking on the 3 bars

5. Click on the black + button to create a new class

6. If you have entered Exploros via a teacher account via Schoology, and you have Schoology Classes, you will see the "Import From Schoology" button. Click it and choose a class to import.

7. Follow the prompts to add a grade and subject. If you are subscribed to a program (e.g. Social Studies Bundle, WordlyWise i3000, etc) add the appropriate license. If you do not license the class, you will not be able to see or assign lessons, depending upon the program.

All students in the Schoology class will be added to the Exploros class, and if they do not have Exploros accounts, accounts will be created for them. You can see the list of students in the class by viewing the roster in Exploros (see image below). Students can log in via Schoology.

NOTE: Until a student has at least one Exploros assignment, there is nothing a student can do in Exploros. If a student attempts to launch Exploros from within Schoology before he or she has an assignment, the student will see a message to this effect — wait for your teacher to assign something before entering Exploros.

Updating (Syncing) a Schoology Class

If your Schoology Class roster changes, you can sync the change with Exploros.

1. Navigate to the Exploros class roster that was initially created using the Schoology Class Import.

2. Once in the Roster, click Sync with Schoology

NOTE: This process will make your Exploros class match its Schoology Class counterpart. In the process, students may be both added and removed from your Exploros class, depending upon the Schoology Class Roster.
