It’s fairly simple to “hack” the link to a Google Doc (or Sheet, Slide, etc.) so that whoever you share it with will be required to make their own copy. This allows you to use the file as a template, so students (or anyone else) can edit their own version without making changes to your original version.
Why can’t students access a Google link that I’ve shared?
This issue is likely related to students not being signed in to their MiamiOH.edu Gmail account in their Chrome browser but a personal one instead. Chrome remembers your last Google sign-in, and it’ll sign you into all new Google apps you launch via a link within it, even if you’re already signed in to your Miami Gmail account in one of your browser tabs.
How many people can collaborate on a Google Jamboard at once?
The maximum number of participants on a Google Jamboard when users are remote and joining through individual browsers is 50. This same limit applies to all Google apps, including Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.
How do I set up a Canvas assignment when students are submitting a Google Doc?
This question that comes up a lot because the assignment submission options are kind of oddly named in Canvas. In your assignment’s settings, scroll down to the Submission Type box, and select Online on the dropdown menu’s options, then select the Website URL checkbox.
Can I play a video during a Webex meeting?
Yes, but how you’ll play your video will depend on whether you have a file for your video or you’ll be playing it from a hosting site like YouTube.
How do I add video files to Canvas?
You should add all video files to your course through the My Media link in your course’s navigation menu. This allows you to upload your videos to Kaltura, Miami’s official video hosting platform, which is integrated with Canvas.
Can students upload video assignments to YouTube?
All Miami students have YouTube accounts through their miamioh.edu credentials that provide access to higher-level features; it’s provided to them (and everyone with a @miamioh.edu account) via our Google Apps for Education account.
