You can use the Google Drive content block to add an activity, embed a resource, or create a presentation directly into the course from your Google Drive. When you update your google file, it will automatically update in your courses too!

Adding Google Drive Content

• Select the '+ G Drive Content' Content Block
• Choose between adding an activity, embedding a resource, or creating a presentation. 

Adding an Activity 

Create a copy of a Google Drive file for each learner that they will edit and submit in the course.

• You will be prompted to sign in with your Google account, select the file, choose to make the activity individual or collaborative, and select 'Save'.

• Choose to make the activity individual or collaborative. 
  • Individual activities will make a copy for each learner to complete and submit.
  • Collaborative activities will make one copy of the activity for all learners in the course to edit and add comments on the same document. 

Embedding a Resource 

Choose any file from your Google Drive to embed for learners. 

• The file will embed directly. This is especially useful for distributing files because the learner will be able to download them from the course.  

Creating a Presentation 

Create a new Google Slides presentation from inside of Canopy. 

• Use the tools within Google Slides to build your presentation. The presentation will embed directly and save a copy to your Drive.
