Important Updates to Google/Canvas Integration

Canvas, DLS Digest, Productivity

 

Google Assignments (LTI 1.3)

In Fall of 2021, Google Assignments and Canvas expanded Google Docs Editors and Google Drive to be compatible with Canvas for file submissions. With Assignments, you can distribute and grade student work, analyze student submissions for plagiarism detection, and use Google Docs and Drive with Canvas.  This version is officially supported by Google and covered by the Google Workspace for Education Terms of Service and Uses Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) 1.3 for stronger security.

 

For additional information on using Google Assignments LTI 1.3 with Canvas, please visit these resources:

  • Use Assignments LTI with Canvas
  • Video for creating new assignments

 

Google Cloud Assignments (LTI 1.1)

In October 2023, Google stopped supporting this older integration.  Teachers need to transition to Google Assignments (LTI 1.3)  What does this mean for teachers?

  • Beginning the 2025-2026 school year, teachers will no longer be able to create new Canvas assignments using Google Cloud Assignments as an External Tool in Canvas
  • Teachers need to convert/copy any current assignments from Google Cloud Assignments to Google Assignments (LTI 1.3).  We recommend copying the assignment before converting to prevent loss of any student submissions.
    • How can I copy an assignment From Google Cloud Assignments to Google Assignments 1.3?
  • Beginning January 5, 2026 any legacy assignments using the Google Cloud Assignments integration will no longer work.

    • TrustED Apps – please remember to review the TrustED Apps platform as digital resources are reviewed by your BLaST members and school leadership.
    • Update on DRAFT – AI Guidelines and Pilot

    • If we are able to get this addressed before school ends we will post a video with some summary district data for the 24-25 school year along with how you can compare your school’s usage data.
  • Wrapping Up 24-25 Courses:
    • Courses will conclude end of day on May 23rd and will be open to teachers until May 30th.  Courses will hard-conclude (disappear from Canvas dashboards) mid-June.

    • Course naming convention – remember to have one and be sure to communicate it to your team members.
    • Make sure your teachers have at least one course created and aligned to the 25-26 Term so they will be sure to have access to Teacher Tools in July/August.
    • Continued emphasis on using Teacher Tools for course creation and rostering in Canvas.

    • Teacher Sites Maintenance – after the last day of school, remember to turn off the Teacher Sites visibility for team members who will no longer be at your school.  Incoming team members will appear on your Teacher Site as they update/publish their Teacher Site for 25-26.
