Schoology Learning

Use the Google Assignments App


Overview

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

If you are currently using the Google Drive Assignment app by Schoology, you are encouraged to migrate to the Google Assignments app by Google.  The Google Drive Assignment app by Schoology will be deprecated in the future.  

The Google Assignments app is not supported on the Schoology mobile app.

With this integration, instructors can:

  • Assign Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings to students directly in Schoology.

  • Automatically generate individual copies of the assignment for students to work on and submit.

  • Provide feedback in real time to course correct students while they are working on their assignments.

  • Grade assignments using Schoology’s grading tool or through Google Assignments.

  • Use Google’s 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.
