Using Flat for Education with Schoology for Music Teachers
Using Schoology for your music courses? Flat for Education is the best solution to create any music notation activity in Schoology. Flat provides seamless integration with Schoology: SSO (Single Sign-in), rostering, assignments with Flat and the ability to embed interactive music notation in your Schoology pages.
Setting Up Schoology
You can set up Schoology with either LTI 1.3 or LTI 1.1 (Legacy).
For new installations, we recommend using LTI 1.3:
- The setup only needs to be completed once for your district. After that, the Schoology admin or any teacher can add Flat for Education to specific classes without entering credentials—in just three clicks.
- LTI 1.3 offers enhanced compatibility and improved connection support between Schoology and our tool.
- Unlike LTI 1.1, the app in LTI 1.3 is not automatically made available to everyone across the district. This is ideal for our music education product, as it allows you to set up Flat for Education only in relevant music classes, ensuring targeted access and a focused educational experience.
LTI 1.1 (Legacy) is still recommended if:
- You need to connect multiple Flat for Education organizations to your Schoology district instance.
- You want to set it up without admin permissions, such as for a single Schoology class.
- You started the school year using LTI 1.1 and want to maintain continuity.
