Google Apps for Courses Not Showing Up

[JamesGierlich]

Hello,

I recently have been using Schoology as my LMS and am now switching the Canvas. I know there is a Google Apps app for courses but I can't seem to find it. How can I add this app to my course if it isn't showing up? It is crucial to my teaching as I have a lot of assignments for students to complete in Google Docs and Slides. Please let me know!

Thanks!

Hi @JamesGierlich,

You may need to reach out to your school's Canvas administrator(s) (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas).  I don't think Google is part of the Eduappcenter, rather it needs to be manually installed, and that may be required to happen at an account level instead of an individual course.

Wish I had better news for you to do this yourself, but I hope the info helps!

Hello Chris,

I am on the Free for Teacher Canvas plan. Do you know who I'd be able to reach out to so the app could be installed?

Hi @JamesGierlich,

I'm not sure that it will be available in the Free for Teacher instance since it's not in eduappcenter.  I'm going to move this thread over to the Free for Teacher area to see if anyone there might have more info on the subject.

Hi @JamesGierlich if you want to private message me a link to the course and the exact apps you're wanting, I can troubleshoot for you. Thanks.

I am having the same issue with my free account. Is Google Drive and Google Assignment not an option for the free Canvas accounts?

I have that same problem too
