A Note from Schoology:
Configuring the App is not the same as installing it. School Admins have the option to configure the App only, giving their instructors the option to install it individually. To do this, do not check any boxes designating which course or school you want the app installed in after you've clicked the Install App button located in Schoology's App Center.
After you have successfully installed and configured the Ferguson's Career Guidance Center app, you will be able to access it and perform a search. Please consult the Ferguson's Career Guidance Center Schoology LTI App Overview article for more information.
