Using your Google Docs Cloud Assignment as a "Template" for student assignments

Overview

Instructors can use Google Docs Cloud Assignment to upload a "Template" file from their Google Drive that allows each student to receive their own copy of the assignment. In a real world scenario this could be you creating a lab worksheet that they need to fill out or some sort of document that they need to read and review.  It is important to note that you need to be the owner of the file in order for the file to work with Google Docs Cloud Assignment.

Instructions

Step 1: Create an Assignment (add a Title, Description, Point Value, Due Date and any relevant content)..
Step 2: At Submission Type, Choose External Tool

Step 3: Click Find, scroll down and choose Google Docs Cloud Assignment
