Schoology: Google Assignments Work Around

Department of Technology

When you experience issues using the Google Assignments app in Schoology, please follow the steps below as

a work around to utilize Google products within Schoology.

FOR TEACHERS:

1. Inside your Schoology course, add an assignment.

2. Click the hyperlink button. Here is where you will paste the

URL for the Google Doc (Sheet, Form, etc.) that you want to

distribute.

3. At the end of the URL, replace the word “edit” (and anything

that follows) with the word “copy”. This will force the student

to make a copy of the document when it is opened.

4. Change any other criteria of your assignment as you normally would. Click Create. Now students will be

able to access the link to this assignment and a copy will be made in their personal Google Drive

accounts.

FOR STUDENTS:

1. Inside your Schoology course assignment, click the Submit Assignment button on the right.

2. Choose the Resources tab, then the Apps icon.

3. Choose the Google assignment you want to

submit by clicking the gray box next to the title.

4. Click the Import button then Import File.

This will submit your Google assignment to

your teacher. You will now see “Assignment

submitted”.
