MackinVIA can be integrated with Schoology, providing users with greater accessibility to your digital collection. This connection allows librarians and teachers to access their Backpack accounts within the learning management system (LMS) and add MackinVIA resources or groups to courses. Additionally, MackinVIA will be available from the course menu.
Important note: The ability to configure apps at the school level as described below is in limited availability within Schoology. Your district’s System Administrator will need to reach out to Schoology’s Client Success Manager to enable this feature.
