Google Assignments App Administrator Guide

The new Google Assignments app integrates with Google Assignments which enables instructors to create Google Assignments directly in Schoology. Students can work on and submit assignments and the instructor can then provide feedback and grade the submissions, all without leaving Schoology.

With this integration you can:

• Assign Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings to students directly in Schoology.
• Enable students to automatically generate their own copy of the assignment to work on and submit.
• Provide feedback and grade assignments.
• Use the built-in originality checker.
• Use rubrics created within the app.
• Select files using the enhanced content selector.
• Use as an alternative to the existing Google Drive Assignments App in Schoology.

• Instructors should continue to use the Google Drive Assignments App if grades are being entered directly in the Schoology gradebook instead of the app. Instructors that wish to use the in-app Google Assignments grading tool can use the new Google Assignments app.
• The Google Assignments app is not supported on the Schoology mobile apps.
