  • Updated
  • In this article, we will show you how to setup Google Drive within a course

Note

Setting up Google Drive in your course will allow all students and teachers to access their personal Google Drive files and folders within your course. 

After they authorize their Google Drive account, students will be able to submit assignments from their Google Drive. At this time, StrongMind only supports Google Docs submissions.

Then teachers will be able to view and grade those assignments submitted from Google Drive.

  1. Click Courses on the left hand side, then click All Courses.
    • If you're an admin, make sure you have selected the correct school
      and course within that school.
  2. Select the course you want to work in.
    Click the Settings tab. 
    Then click Apps.
