Your Onboarding Manager will provide you with two pieces of information to be used in a later step: a consumer key and a shared secret. The consumer key is our unique identifier for your Schoology implementation, while the shared secret is used to ensure that all communication sent from Schoology to Xello are secure. Both pieces of information are unique to your implementation and are known only by Xello and your Schoology administrator.
