The Google Drive Assignments App enables instructors to assign Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Slideshows, and Drawings directly from within the Schoology platform. When a student opens the assigned file, an individual student copy is automatically generated so the student can work on and submit it, and then the instructor can provide feedback and grade it, all without leaving Schoology.
