Use Microsoft OneDrive for Canvas at IU assignments
Overview
The OneDrive integration with Canvas includes a suite of tools developed by Microsoft that provides integration between OneDrive and learning management systems like Canvas. In Canvas at IU, OneDrive files can be used in several places: Assignments, Modules, Collaborations, and embedded within the Rich Content Editor. The OneDrive integration is available in all Canvas courses.
Create a OneDrive cloud assignment
Cloud assignments are templated assignments. The instructor creates the template document (for example, a Word document with questions for the students to answer, or an Excel spreadsheet where students will manipulate data), and each student gets their own copy of the document that they can edit and submit. When students submit the assignment, their own copy gets submitted and is available to the educator in the SpeedGrader for assessment.
OneDrive allows you to use Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to provide assignment instructions to students or assignment templates for students to edit and submit.
