About
This Google App integration, created by Instructure, has five main points of interoperability that promote great teaching and learning:
1) Single sign-on: use your Canvas login to sign into Google (in process)
2) Google Drive embedding and linking: easily embed documents from your Google Drive anywhere you use the Rich Content Editor
3) Google Docs as Assignments:
• Students can submit Google Docs as Assignments
• Teachers can use a Google Doc to give an Assignment, and send a copy of that document to each assigned student
• Teachers can grade submitted student assignments in Speedgrader by editing or annotating the Google Doc
4) Google Drive Collaborations: students can use Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides for a Canvas Collaboration
5) Modules: Teachers can link to live Google Files in their Canvas Modules
