Using Google at GCC and Moodle

According to Google, there are two different GCC's, one with only students and another with only faculty and staff. For this reason, all GCC users who want anyone in the other group to access files must change the permissions to "anyone with the link." 

This is an updated version of the page we used in summer 2020 when GCC faculty began using Google Workspaces (which was called G Suite at the time).

When files stored in Google Workspace are linked in Moodle using the ATTO text editor, the content along with all of the available controls are there.  The specific controls depends on the Google account the user has used to log in. Changing the account in the browser being used and refreshing the Moodle page will change the controls.

Using these steps, faculty can create a Google Document word processor file (or Slides presentation or Sheets spreadsheet) that students can copy and complete. This is an excellent way to integrate reading guides, worksheets, and similar documents created in Google Workspaces into Moodle classrooms. 

Using these steps, you can make a copy of a Google file your instrutor shared with you. Following these steps, you can complete the file as a "worksheet" without changing the original.

User can upload any file (e.g. PDF, DOC, XLSX, PNG, MP4...) to G Suite. Some of these (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet, presentation) can be opened in G Suite applications. Other can simply be shared through G Suite.
