ALL In Learning and Focus

Follow

ALL In Learning and Focus School Software have developed an integration that allows teachers, classes, and students to be synced automatically, as well as allowing teachers to easily and quickly sync assessments and grades.

You should already be set up with an ALL In Learning account if your school uses Focus and ALL In Learning. Click here to finish setting up your account if you've never used ALL In Learning before.

Once you've set up your ALL In Learning account, your classes and students should be synced automatically.

In order to grade assessments created in Focus in ALL In Learning, or to record graded assessments in ALL In Learning in Focus, please follow these steps.

  5. Once you click ALL In Learning, it will load any assessments you've completed in ALL In Learning for that class that has not been recorded in Focus. Select those if needed, otherwise, move to the next step.

    You can change or add to the list of classes on the far-right, but the class you're creating this assessment for is already selected.

    Once all the assignment fields are set, click on Save!

  6. Clicking Save will return you back to the class page in Focus with the new assignment now listed. You can log in to your ALL In Learning account, or you can click the Third Party link to log in directly!

  8. Important: Your assessment isn't ready to grade yet! You'll need to add questions first!

    To do this, hover over the Actions button and click on Edit.

    This will open the editing screen in ALL In Learning, and the first option will allow you to choose any of the ways in ALL In Learning to add questions to an assessment.

  9. Choose one of those options and add questions to your assessment. Check out our help desk for resources on building an assessment and the many options you can use in ALL In Learning!

  10. After adding questions and saving, you can now grade the assessment. Check our help desk articles on grading if you need any help with grading in ALL In Learning.

  11. Once you've finished grading and have created a report in ALL In Learning, you can immediately check your Focus account and refresh the class page to see the grades reflected in Focus!

  3. Once you have selected the class, click on Add Assignment to open the assignment modal.

  4. In the Focus assignment modal, you can set all the fields you need. For the name, you can name the assessment what it is named in ALL In Learning, or you can write a new name and the report and assessment in ALL In Learning will be updated with this new name.

    Once the fields are set, select the 3rd Party drop-down and select ALL In Learning. Focus will search for any assessments that match that class period and you will see the assessment you need!
