Google LTI 1.3 Update

Important Notes

• Existing assignments will need to be re-linked to display correctly. This includes previous assignments that are imported into a new course via a course copy.
• Previous submissions will NOT be affected. They will still be accessible via the SpeedGrader in Canvas.

Re-linking a Google LTI Assignment

Clicking an existing or copied Google Cloud Assignment will show a ‘Couldn’t find valid link settings for this link,’ error and redirect you to the course homepage.

However, this does not mean you need to recreate the assignment from scratch. To edit the assignment and relink it, do the following:

1. Click the kabab menu (three vertical dots) to the right of the assignment
2. Click Edit
   
3. Click the More Options button in the lower-left corner of the edit dialogue window
   
4. Scroll down to the Submission Type section, leave the type set to External Tool, and click the Find button
   
5. Scroll down the list of tools and click Google Assignments (LTI 1.3)
   
6. A new dialogue window will open. If you are presented with a Google account that is not your @myci.csuci.edu CI Docs account, click the Switch Account button. If your @myci.csuci.edu CI Docs account already shows up, click it.
   
   1. If switching accounts, a new window will pop up. Either choose your @myci.csuci.edu CI Docs account from the Google accounts listed or, if it isn’t listed, click the Use another account option.
   2. Enter your @myci.csuci.edu CI Docs email. This will be the same as your regular CI email address, but ending in @myci.csuci.edu as opposed to @csuci.edu (e.g. firstname.lastname@myci.csuci.edu). This will open a myCI login window or proceed if you’re already signed in.
7. Click the Link button to connect your CI Docs account to the Google Assignments tool
   
8. Attach your Google Drive file (you can select Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Drawings that you want to use for your assignment by clicking the Attach or Create button if you haven’t created the assignment document yet. This will function the same as the previous integration where a student will receive a copy of the selected/attached doc that they submit. Also, set your assignment settings:
   1. Check plagiarism (originality): This option will create originality reports with submissions. You can only use this option for 5 assignments per course.
   2. Grade with Google Assignments: This allows you to add comments and grading directly within the Google interface. This acts much like adding comments to a regular Google Doc, Slides, or Sheets file in Google Drive.
   3. Grade with Canvas SpeedGrader: This option functions just like the previous integration where submissions are converted to view-only files and uploaded to Canvas SpeedGrader. Grading and markups are done within SpeedGrader.
      
9. Click the Create button when you’re done.
10. Click the Select button on the Configure External Tool dialogue window.
    1. It’s recommended to check the Load This Tool In A New Tab option when using Google Assignments.
11. Scroll down to the bottom of the assignment page and click Save.
12. You’ll now see an assignment inbox as the instructor.
