Hi everyone, for teachers using Google Docs with students:
My Louisville assignments accept files uploaded via
their Google Docs. When setting up your assignment to accept files for online submission, students have a choice. Instead of browsing for a
file on their computer to upload, they can click a Google Docs button and load
the file. Please read the details below, there are some interesting options.
Benefits: You can view and grade their file from within My Louisville, and the grade goes directly into your gradebook.
Here are the details:
Students
can submit files from their Google Drive accounts to My Louisville assignments. To do
so, students click Attach Files on
the assignment detail page. They then click Add From Google Drive to login and select the appropriate
files.
·
If a student selects a non-Google document from Google Drive,
the file is handled the same as a file selected from the student’s local
computer.
·
If a student selects a Google Document from Google Drive, the student can choose:
o
to convert the file and submit it as an attachment for the
teacher to download. The student must select a conversion format based on the Google
Document type.
o
to submit the document as a link which the teacher can access
from Google’s
website. The student must ensure that the document is shared correctly. If the
document isn’t shared correctly, the teacher won’t be able to access it in Google.
When teachers access files in Google Drive, they can use Google’s
collaboration tools. Based on the sharing settings, these may include the right
to edit and/or add comments to the shared document.
