Cloud Assignments

If your institution is using the Google LTI or the Office LTI, you have the ability to create Cloud Assignments. In this case, we are using the Google Assignments LTI.

Google Assignments LTI

Assignments (Links to an external site.) brings together the capabilities of Google Docs, Drive, and Search into a new tool for collecting and grading student work, right within Canvas. It helps save time with streamlined assignment workflows, ensures the authenticity of student work with originality reports, and provides methods for  constructive feedback through comment banks. 

What does Assignments do? 

Assignments streamlines the creation and management of coursework, and tackles some of your biggest frustrations:

• Allow students to submit Drive files to Canvas assignments that you can then grade in SpeedGrader
• Check for missed citations and possible plagiarism with the originality reports feature
• Embed Drive files with the Canvas rich text editor
• Add Drive files to Canvas Modules

If you choose to grade with Assignments, you can also:

• Stop typing the same feedback over and over by using a comment bank
• Use Google's new originality reports to detect possible plagiarism
• Automatically lock work once it’s turned in with permissions management
