How do I turn on Google Assignments for a Canvas assignment?
- Alyssa Goudy
To turn on Google Assignments for your Canvas assignment, you will need to create a new assignment as an external tool.
“Turning on” Google Assignments for your Canvas assignment does not enable the feature for all course assignments. You will need to perform the actions in How do I turn on Google Assignments for a Canvas assignment? and How do I build a Google Assignment with Canvas? for each assignment you wish to use this feature with.
