Step 1: Create a Bubble.io Account
The first thing you need to do is create an account with Bubble.io. Go to the Bubble.io website and click on the "Get Started for Free" button. Fill in all the necessary information and confirm your account via the link sent to your email address.
Step 2: Create an Application on Bubble.io
Once your account is created and you've logged in, the next step is to create your application. Click on the "New App" button, give your new app a name, choose a template or start from scratch, and then click the "Create a new app" button.
Step 3: Familiarize Yourself with Bubble.io
Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the Bubble.io interface. Learn how to add different elements to your app, how to create workflows, etc. It's worth spending a bit of time here as it will speed up your development process later on.
Step 4: Create a Schoology Developer Account
Go to the Schoology website and create a developer account. Just like with Bubble.io, you'll need an email address to sign up. Once you're signed up and logged in, you'll be able to create a new app within Schoology.
Step 5: Create an Application on Schoology
Once you're logged into your Schoology developer account, create a new app. Navigate to "Apps" then "Create App". Fill in all the necessary information and click "Create". Your app is now created.
Step 6: Get the Consumer Key and Secret
The Consumer Key and Secret are unique identifiers that allow your Bubble.io app to communicate with your Schoology app. On your Schoology app page, find these keys and save them somewhere safe. You’ll need them for the following steps.
Step 7: Integrate Bubble.io and Schoology
Now go back to your Bubble.io Dashboard, go to your app and click on the "Settings" tab. Click on "API" in the dropdown menu. You will need to enable 'Expose a Post API', this will allow your Schoology app to communicate with your Bubble.io app. After enabling the Post API, now find "Add APIs" at the bottom. In the next page, paste your Consumer Key and Secret that you acquired from Schoology then hit "Return" on your keyboard.
Step 8: Set Up API Calls to Schoology
Within Bubble.io, you can now make API calls and link to your Schoology app. Go to Plugins and click on "Add Plugins", find and install the “API Connector” Plugin by Bubble. Go to "Settings" > "APIs", and click on "Add another API". Set up the various calls you need (get student details, post grades, etc.) using the Schoology API documentation for reference.
Step 9: Set Up Workflow Triggers
You now need to create workflows within Bubble.io that trigger these API calls. This involves adding actions to your app (like buttons or forms) and setting up what happens when these actions are performed. Again, refer to the Bubble.io documentation and tutorials for more guidance here.
Step 10: Test the Integration
Finally, make sure you test the integration thoroughly. Ensure that data flows correctly from Schoology to your app and vice versa. Look out for any errors or issues and resolve them.
Step 11: Publish Your Bubble.io App
Once everything is working as you'd like, it's now time to publish your app. Go to the "Settings" tab and click on "Domain". Follow the directions to publish your app under your chosen domain.
Integrating Bubble.io with Schoology is a fairly complex process that involves a number of steps, but with careful planning and execution, it is very achievable. Keep the documentation for both Bubble.io and Schoology close at hand, and don't be afraid to reach out to their support if needed.
Scenario: A school wants to automate its assignment and grading process to reduce manual work and improve efficiency. They want to use Schoology for managing assignments and grades, but they also want a custom student portal where students can view their assignments, submit work, and receive grades. They decide to use Bubble.io to create this portal and need to integrate it with Schoology to sync data in real time.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Schoology
Student Portal Creation: The school uses Bubble.io to design a student portal that includes features such as assignments view, submission forms, grades view, and feedback sections.
Setting Up the Integration: The school installs a Schoology plugin in Bubble.io and sets it up using their Schoology API key. They create workflows in Bubble.io that will be triggered when new assignments are created in Schoology or when students submit their assignments.
Data Sync Workflow: When a teacher creates a new assignment in Schoology, the workflow is triggered. The assignment details are automatically sent to the Bubble.io student portal and displayed in the assignments view. When a student submits an assignment through the Bubble.io portal, the submitted data (e.g., assignment file, submission date) is sent back to Schoology using the configured Schoology plugin action.
Grading in Schoology: The teachers grade the assignments in Schoology. The grades and feedback are then automatically displayed in the student's grade view in the Bubble.io portal.
Monitoring and Analytics: The integration allows seamless tracking of assignment submissions and grades within Schoology. The school can monitor the effectiveness of their student portal and make data-driven decisions to enhance their educational process.
Benefits:
Efficiency: Automating the assignment and grading process saves time and eliminates manual error.
Centralized Data: All assignments and grades are stored and managed in Schoology, providing a unified platform for teachers.
Transparency: The integration enables students to track their assignments and grades easily, promoting transparency.
Data Insights: The school can analyze students' performance in Schoology, gaining insights into academic achievement.
By integrating Bubble.io with Schoology, the school can effectively manage assignments and grades, provide a user-friendly portal for students, and ultimately improve their educational process.
