Is it possible to share a Google Earth Project (a .kml file) in Canvas? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
Yes it is possible. First, upload the .kml file to the Files section of your course. Maybe make a folder specifically for .kml files if you intend to use them a lot. The file can then be put into Pages/Assignments/DIscussions/etc. by using the Insert Document option in the editing ribbon or menu. Make sure to select "Course Documents."

When selected, it will put a link onto the page you are editing that allows students to download the file.

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
