Managing Google Doc Tasks
Via the Task View
After creating a task with GDoc templates each student will be able to access it through the GDoc editor within MB if their Google Drive account e-mail address matches the e-mail address in their ManageBac Profile. Students should be logged in to their Google Account in their browsers when accessing GDoc templates in ManageBac. If they are using the ManageBac app, students will need ensure that they are logged in to their GDrive app on the device with the same account as their ManageBac email address.
Until the students open the Task the status will be reported as Waiting afterwards it will be set to In Progress. Lastly, after the GDoc file has been submitted the status will change to Submitted.
Clicking on the student name will open the GDoc Viewer and Annotations tab in split-screen view.
Teachers can lock individual student submissions independently of the submission status of the GDoc template using the lock icon.
You can also bulk force submit all GDocs in a template via the Submit Coursework button below the template title. This will revoke writing access to the GDoc template for all students. Teachers can reset individual student's Coursework submissions so that students can continue to access and edit the GDoc Template.
