1. Go to your Account Settings > Integrations > Schoology and copy the Consumer Key and Shared Secret. Keep these details private, they will allow Schoology to access to your Flat school account.
2. Click here to open Flat in Schoology’s App Center. On the app page, click on “Install LTI App” and choose the course where you will use Flat.
3. Open the course(s), click on Course Options, then External Tools. Choose the fresh installed Flat app and enter the configuration settings obtained at the first step.

SSO (Single Sign-On), Accounts Provisioning and Rostering

Flat is accessible in 1-click on the navigation of your courses. We will automatically create accounts for your students and link the existing ones from your private Flat website based on the emails provided by Schoology.

We also automatically create Classes on Flat and enroll your students in them, so you easily make assignments with Flat, and share scores with your students.

Embed interactive sheet music in Schoology

Embed on your Materials page

You can easily embed read-only and interactive sheet music in your Schoology in your Materials page:

Click on Add Materials and Flat:

Choose the score you want to share in your class. You can choose “Link” to insert a simple link, or “Embed” to insert a rich player in your Materials page.

Here is how the embedded material will look on your Schoology materials page. If you don’t have a small score, you might want to use a link or embed it in a Schoology page (cf below) since Schoology doesn’t allow us to insert bigger embeds on the Materials page.

Embed on a Schoology page

You can also embed a score in a dedicated Schoology Page with some other content. First, create a new Page in Add Materials > Add Page and choose a title for this one. When you want to insert a score in your page, click on Insert content > Flat and choose “Embed” next to a score.

Once inserted, you can adjust the size of the embed to have a better display of your content on the page.
