Student view
The student view of the OneDrive Assignment includes the Assignment and My Document tabs.
-
On the Assignment tab, students can read the description and due date. If you’re grading with a rubric, it is displayed here.
-
To work on the file, students open My Document to generate their own copy. After the copy is created, they click Edit to open the file in a new browser tab in OneDrive.
Students can edit .docx files in Word Online. However, .doc files must be opened in the Word desktop app or converted to .docx in Word Online. For a list of supported file types and more information, refer to the Microsoft Office Support Center.
Submit assignments
After students authorize the app and log in to OneDrive through their browser, they can edit their file from within Schoology.
-
To turn in work, students click Submit Assignment. After submission, the file can no longer be edited.
-
Students can click Unsubmit any time before the due date and before grading, even if an exception code is applied.
-
Unsubmitting a file returns it to the In Progress tab.
-
The student regains edit access and can continue working.
-
Reconnect the OneDrive assignments app
The OneDrive Assignments App leverages the permission-sharing capabilities of OneDrive. A copy of the assigned document is created when a student opens an assignment using the OneDrive Assignments App. This copy is only shared with the instructor who created the assignment and the student who opens it.
Sometimes, errors can occur for students using this workflow, such as:
-
A student attempts to review a file and discovers they no longer have access. A Microsoft ID or privileges had previously given them access to the file, but now they are using a different Microsoft ID and cannot access it.
-
A student attempts to review a file and discovers they no longer have access. They are logged into Schoology but are not actually logged into a Microsoft account.
These errors can be resolved by signing out of the OneDrive Assignments App and signing back in. Schoology has added a link to make this process easier. This allows students to reconnect to the app with the correct OneDrive account and load the document successfully.
This link is available for students reviewing their documents in the My Document tab.
-
Select the link that displays before the document.
-
Select Connect, and then sign in to your OneDrive account.
After you've logged in, Schoology will automatically reload the document. If this does not resolve the issue, contact your instructor for further assistance.
