ManageBac+ offers three Google integrations to support authentication, file uploads, and coursework workflows. Each integration serves a different purpose and can be enabled from your school’s integration settings.

This guide explains what each integration does, how to enable it, and where to find more information for setup and usage.

Overview

ManageBac+ supports the following Google integrations:

• Google Single Sign-on for logging in with Google credentials
• Google Drive Integration for uploading and sharing files from Google Drive
• Google Doc Template Integration for creating, distributing, submitting, and marking coursework using Google Docs

All three options are configured by an administrator from the school account settings.

Step by Step Navigation

Google Single Sign-on

1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Partners.
2. Select Google Single Sign On.
3. Submit your request to enable the integration.

Once enabled, all users, including admins, teachers, students, and parents, will see a Sign in with Google option on the school’s ManageBac+ login page.

Google Doc Template Integration

1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Partners > Google Docs.
2. Enable the Google Docs integration for your school.
3. Ensure your school has one shared Google Drive that all teachers can access.

We recommend creating folders by teacher or by subject within the shared drive to organise documents more clearly.

Once set up, teachers and students can use Google Docs throughout the coursework process:

Teacher: Document Creation & Differentiation

1. Teachers can link Google Doc templates directly to assessment tasks.
2. Teachers can assign one or more Google Doc templates to students to support differentiation.

Student: Coursework Creation, Submission & Portfolio

1. Students can work on Google Docs directly within ManageBac+ and submit them with one click.
2. When coursework is submitted, documents are automatically versioned, time stamped, and saved to the student portfolio.

Teacher: Evaluation & Marking

1. Teachers can mark work with annotations using the Split-Screen Grading system in ManageBac+.
