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

In Classic Quizzes, it is possible to display question-level feedback to students without manually grading an essay question on a quiz. Can this be enabled in New Quizzes? Use Case: This feature is vital for practice quizzes that include essay questions along with other question types. We mix essay questions with other…
Our "Outcomes" has not been working for about 6 months. Teachers can't build and attach Outcomes to new quizzes. Canvas said it was a rollover issue. Canvas won't fix it unless we pay them $2000 to "re-train" us for 10 hours. Has anyone had this problem and did it get fixed?
