ManageBac & Google
ManageBac supports our Google schools with three integration options, for simplified login, g-drive uploads and g-doc templates. These 3 features all need to be enabled & configured by an admin on your school's account.
1. Google Single Sign-on
MB & Google SSO
ManageBac provides, as a paid add-on service, the ability to allow all G-mail users to log-in using their Google credentials (SSO). This allows schools to better support their own identity management system.
How to request: Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Partners. Select “Google Single Sign On".
How it works: Once enabled, all users (Admins, Teachers, Students & Parents) will find a "Sign-in with Google" option on your school's ManageBac login page.

2. Google Drive Integration
MB & Google Uploads
ManageBac provides a free integration to permit the upload and sharing of Google drive files across ManageBac. This will be available to all users once enabled.
How to enable: Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Partners > Google Upload. Select 'Enable File Uploads from Google Drive' and click Save Changes.
How it works: This will allow users to "Add from Google Drive" when selecting files.

3. Google Doc Template Integration
MB & G-Doc Templates
ManageBac provides a free integration to support teachers & students who are using Google Apps for Education. This is available for all teachers to use when creating tasks, and for students when submitting to those tasks.
How to enable: Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Partners > Google Docs.
How it works: Please note that schools must have one shared Google Drive that all teachers can access in order for this integration to work. We recommend creating a folder per teacher or per subject within the drive to organise it further.
Teacher: Document Creation & Differentiation
1. Directly link created Google Doc templates to your assessment tasks
2. Assign one or more Google Doc templates to your students – supporting greater differentiation
Student: Coursework Creation, Submission & Portfolio
3. Students can directly work on Google Docs within ManageBac and easily submit upon completion with one-click
4. Upon coursework submission, Google Docs are automatically versioned and time-stamped and saved into the student portfolio
Teacher: Evaluation & Marking
5. Mark with annotations via our Split-Screen Grading system in ManageBac.
