Once a Collaboration Group is created using Google Docs, how do students use it? How is the resulting document saved in Canvas as a Word document?
Hi @CaroleFrancis! If you're wondering how students can use the Collaborations group they created, they can simply click the name of the collaboration and a new tab will appear, prompting them to log in to google docs. Once they log in, they can immediately start editing the document. This article explains it very thoroughly:How do I view Collaborations as a student? To save the resulting document in Canvas as a Word file, students can share, or download and save it as a .docx file using Google Docs, then re-upload it by submitting it to the appropriate assignment or quiz. This video at around the 3:40 timestamp shows how to do this using the Microsoft Office option in Collaborations, and the same steps apply when using Google Docs. They can also upload the downloaded file to a specific group by going to the files page and uploading it. This article helped me figure it out: How do I upload a file to a group? Please note that instructors have access to all collaboration groups and can open the associated Google Docs links.I hope this helps! -Thea

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
