Get Started with Google Assignments

Updated on August 1, 2024

Google Assignments integration with Canvas allows instructors to create assignments utilizing Google Drive and the associated suite of Google tools. Utilizing Google Assignments allows you to create or attach a file which is copied into each student’s Google drive, allowing them to work individually and submit the assignment via Google drive.

A new version of the Canvas Google Assignments integration was implemented in May, 2024. If you’ve been using the Google Assignments integration through external tools you will notice a few changes. 

  • You can find Google Assignments under its new listing on the External Tools menu: Google Assignments (LTI 1.3).
  • If a migrated course from a previous year includes assignments created with the prior Google Assignment integration, it should still allow students to submit their work through a Google file as before. 
  • Also, please note that students no longer need to be signed into their BC Google accounts to submit assignments; Canvas login is sufficient to give them access to the assignment and its submission options. 

In addition to the changes discussed above, the new Google Assignments integration includes the following changes. 

  • Google Assignments now includes Google slides as well as docs and spreadsheets as a file option during the assignment creation or submission process. Additionally, you can attach most non-Google file formats to the assignment, but Google Assignments does not support the creation of non-Google file formats.
  • Instructors can use version tracking in Google to see the progress of student work.
  • The Google Assignments grading tool combines full options for annotation with a grading panel similar to the one in Speedgrader.
  • Please note, Google Assignments does not include support for group assignments.
