Do you have a Google Drive Document you'd like students to view in a lesson? You've come to the right place! Please take a look at the information below, before moving on to the instructions for adding Google Docs or Slides.
General Information
You and your students must be logged into Otus using Google SSO to have access to your Google Drives.
If you are the co-teacher of a class, the main teacher must login with Google SSO at least once in order to enable the features of the integration for you.
Make sure your sharing settings are set appropriately for that Google Doc.
This process will essentially provide students with a link to the Google Doc within their Google Drive. It does not automatically embed a copy of the document in the lesson (see next bullet).
If you'd like Otus to automatically make a copy of the Google Doc for each student and allow them to work on it directly within Otus, you'll want to use a Rubric Assessment to do that.
You can only attach a single link to an activity; you are unable to attach a folder.
Adding the Google Doc/Slide
Step 1: After you've created the lesson, add an Activity and select Add Resource.
Step 2: Select the Google Drive button.
Step 3: Choose the Google Doc you'd like to attach. *if you don't see anything available, please make sure you have logged in using Google SSO.
Step 4: Select Save.
Step 5: Add a title and directions.
Step 6: Add an image (optional). For best results, use an image with a ratio equivalent to 300 length x 200 width. *If this ratio is not used, the image will be seen in full by the student but a blurred background of the uploaded image will be added to fill the blank space. See below 👇 .
Step 7: Select Save.
When the student accesses this activity, they will select the button that says Open Google Drive.
