Cloud Assignments

COCC is using the Office 365 LTI, and you have the ability to create Cloud Assignments from your files saved in your Office 365 account.

You can create an online assignment that embeds a document directly from your Microsoft Office 365 (OneDrive) folder. Accepted assignment types are Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

When students open the assignment, Office 365 will create a copy of the file as the student’s submission. Students can open the document and make changes per the assignment instructions. When they are ready to submit the assignment, they can return to the Canvas assignment page and submit the assignment. The copied document is also added to the student’s OneDrive folder for the course. You can also view each student's document copy in SpeedGrader for grading.

How do I create a cloud assignment with a Google Drive file?
- Regarding Google Apps LTI: we recommend testing this feature before you use it in your course. Keep in mind:
  - Google is not part of the COCC Single Sign On platform, so students will need to use a personal Gmail address.
  - They will not be able to contribute, download, or access the document without being logged onto a Gmail account.
  - This could be a point of conflict for some students if they are not able to create a Gmail account for whatever reason.
