Whether your classroom is remote, in person, or a hybrid of both, web-based learning management software (LMS) is a lifesaver for teachers. It’s fun, engaging, easy to use, and, most important, it’s an improvement on traditional, antiquated classroom management methods that can slow you down.
By helping you create, manage, and deliver educational content — from lesson plans to pop quizzes — on one platform, an LMS can also help you save time, money, and resources. Plus, thanks to fundamental features like multichannel communication, multilingual functionality, calendars, social features, and advanced reporting capabilities, both you and your students will enjoy a more interactive (and effective) classroom experience.
While there are many LMS options on the market, one of the best is Schoology, which prides itself on bringing an entire community together — teachers, students, parents, and administrators alike — through one comprehensive, collaborative application.
While it offers an array of useful features, users may want to add to Schoology’s functionality by incorporating online forms for quizzes, surveys, and more. Read on to learn more about how to add a Google form to Schoology.

Migrate existing forms instantly
There’s no need to rebuild your online forms from scratch. Instead, migrate existing forms and submission data into your Jotform account in one click — so you can collect data without skipping a beat.
How Schoology works
With more than 20 million users (as well as more than 10 years of industry experience), Schoology knows what it takes to make your classroom, school, and district successful. It’s robust, secure, and accessible — providing a unique, personalized learning experience for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Using Schoology, users can
- Track and analyze student performance data like benchmark assessments, attendance, and behavior
- Personalize content and pace learning based on each student’s individual needs, proficiency, and interests
- Participate in collaborative, constructive discussions with students, parents, and other team members
- Provide parents with instant access to information regarding their child’s grades, progress, and overall learning experience
Plus, since Schoology boasts over 200 integrations with other educational tools and platforms, you can build a customized teaching plan that meets your needs without ever leaving the app.
However, Schoology is not without its limitations. Some reviewers say its interface is a bit outdated and can be difficult to navigate.
Schoology assessments also can’t adjust automatically based on a student’s answers to show material more appropriate to their level of understanding — which is an important feature for providing equal learning opportunities for students — while other software (like Google Forms) can, using conditional logic features. Luckily, there’s a way to add a Google form to Schoology.

Using Jotform’s drag-and-drop functionality, you can even build online forms from scratch. You can
- Easily change your form’s colors, styles, themes, and overall layout
