Google Schoology Integration - Grading Google Drive Assignments

• See the due date and time.
• See the assignment Description.

• Open the Google file you selected in a new tab in your browser.

  Note: This is the file that your students will use to create their own copies of the file, and any edits you make do not automatically update in previously-created copies of the file. That is, only students who create their copy after you make the edits will have versions that contain the edits. Updates to the file are not reflected for students who've already made their copies.

• Review a rubric if one is being used to grade the assignment.
• Use the section switcher to change the course section you're viewing if you have linked sections taking the assignment.

In Progress Tab

Click In-Progress to see a list of all students who have not yet made an assignment submission. View a student's copy of your original document before they submit by selecting their name from the list of the In Progress tab.

Monitor the progress of your students before they submit. Provide feedback directly on submissions using the native Google Drive feedback tools.

When you select a student’s name who has not yet clicked the My Document tab in their view of the assignment, the following message displays:

It looks like [student’s first name] has not opened this assignment yet. Once your student clicks on “My Document,” a copy of your original file will be created and the document will appear here.

Students can edit their files while submissions are still In Progress. Once students make a submission, they can no longer edit their files (from either Schoology or Google Drive). As the instructor and owner of the file, you will always have edit access to each of your students' files.

This copy displays when you select a student from the list in your In Progress tab until the student makes a submission. Once the student submits, his or her name and document display in the Submissions tab instead.

Submissions Tab

Submissions displays a list of students who have submitted the assignment. Select a student’s name to view his or her document.

*Unfortunately at this time, Google Drive Assignments will only state whether assignments have been submitted 'On Time' or 'Late'. They will not include a timestamp unless students upload the Google assignment themselves. For more information about allowing students to create Google resources themselves, please click this link and go to the section titled "Allowing Students to Individually Upload Google Drive Resources to an Assignment": SAU19 Knowledge Base - Google Schoology Integration - Creating Google Drive Assignments.

From Submissions you may:

• Click into the grade input field along the top of the document header to grade the submission, enter a score, or add a comment.           
• If you would like your students to see the gradebook comments, please select 'Share gradebook comment with your student'.
• Click the Exceptions icon to apply an exception. 
• If you're using a rubric to grade the assignment, click the rubric icon to open the rubric and add scores and comments for the assignment.
  
• Click Unsubmit below the student name to move the assignment back into the In Progress tab and enable the student to continue working on the assignment.                            
• Provide feedback using native Google features, including commenting and annotation tools, as well as advanced editing tools like insert math formula and insert charts.
  
  Note: Insert image is not supported at this time.
   

• Use the filter along the top of your list of students to filter by:
  • Needs Grading
  • Graded
  • On Time
  • Late

Student View

The student view of the Google Submission Assignment displays the Assignment and My Document tabs.

• The Assignment tab displays the Assignment Description, including the due date. If you're using a rubric to grade the assignment, it also displays in this tab.
• Students must click the My Document tab to generate their copies of your Google Drive file.

Student Experience

Students have access to two tabs displayed at the top of their assignment: Assignment and My Document. Clicking the My Document tab will generate a copy of the original file that will then be shared between you (the instructor) and the student. This copied file will then be placed and organized in your drive.

In the Assignment tab, students can:

• See the due date and time.
• See the assignment Description.
• Review a rubric if one is being used to grade the assignment.

Students click the My Document tab in their view of the assignment to create their own copy of your original file. As the instructor, you are the owner of the document in Google, and the file is shared with your students.

Submitting Assignments

Once students authorize the app and log into their Google Drive account through their browser, they can edit their file from within Schoology.

Click Submit Assignment at the top of the document to submit.

Students may no longer edit the Google file after submitting the assignment. Instead, any edits a student makes after submitting the assignment are added as "suggestions" to the Google file. Teachers can review the suggestions to approve or deny the edits that were suggested after submitting the assignment.

However, students may click Unsubmit at any time before the due date, and before you have graded their work. This includes applying an exception code.

Unsubmitting an assignment returns it to In Progress in your view of the assignment as the Instructor. When an assignment is unsubmitted, the student re-gains edit access to the file and may continue working on the assignment.

If the student view is not displaying, ensure that third-party cookies are not being blocked on the devices and/or browsers used to access Google Drive assignments. They may also need to link their accounts. Please click this link to follow the directions on linking accounts: SAU19 Knowledge Base - Google - Linking Student Accounts in Schoology.
