Editing Documents

How do I take a previously saved PDF or other document in my Google Drive and allow students to write on it to submit rather than having students print it and then submit it?

Hello there, @bguy ...

Sorry to see that this question has been sitting out here unanswered for such a long time.  If you have the Google Apps LTI external tool app integrated in Canvas (check with your school's local Canvas administrator or someone from your school's Online Learning/eLearning department if you are not sure), then you could set this up as a Google Cloud assignment where they are able to essentially create a copy of your document which is saved to their own Google account...and they can could make edits to it before they submit it to you via Canvas.  Here is some documentation:

• How do I create a cloud assignment with a Google Drive file?
• How do I submit a cloud assignment with Google Drive?

I hope these resources will be of some help to you.  Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!  Take care, stay safe, and be well.
