How to Use Canvas and Google Together

Return to Learn with The Art of Education University 

Whether you are a pro at using Canvas (Learning Management System) or have just been tossed into it now, you will know how frustrating it can be at first glance. Canvas does not feel intuitive, especially for art teachers. It will get easier the more you use it and figure out how to make it work for you and your teaching style. Using Canvas with Google products seems tricky at first. However, with a few adjustments, this duo can enhance organization and student learning.

10 tips (with videos!) to make Canvas and Google work together for you:

1.  embed your agenda or calendar on the home screen..

Use Google Slides to create daily agendas and Google Calendar to help students keep track of their overall schedule.

When making a Slides Agenda, make sure to put the most current date at the top of the slide deck. This way, today’s agenda slide will always be what students see first, and then they can scroll through to the next date to see what they missed during an absence.

• Click on your Canvas Course.
• Click on “Pages” on the left sidebar.
• Click on the + in the top right to add a page.
• Title your Page and click “Save and Publish” at the bottom right.
• Click on “Pages” on the left sidebar; you should now see a list of your pages.
• Click on the three vertical dots on the right side of your “Welcome” page.
• Click “Use as Front Page.”
• Click on “Home” on the left sidebar.
• On the right side, you will now see options, including “Choose Home Page.”
• Click on “Choose Home Page” and select “Pages Front Page.”
• When you go back to “Home,” you should now see your “Welcome Page” as your “Home Page.”

Watch Video 

• Click on your “Home Page.”
• Click on “Edit” at the top right.
• In another tab, access your Google Slides presentation.
• Click on “File” > “Publish to Web.”
• Choose the “Embed” tab option (you will see “Link” and “Embed” as tabs).
• Click “Publish;” an HTML code will appear.
• Copy the HTML code.
• Go back to your Canvas Page Tab in your browser.
• Click on “HTML Editor” on the right side.
• Paste your copied HTML code from your published slides here.
• Click on “Rich Content Editor,” and you should now see your slides.
• Click “Save.”

• Create a new calendar (Click on the + after “Other Calendars” in the left toolbar), title it, and “Create Calendar.”
• Click the back arrow at the top right (next to “Settings”); you will return to the calendar page and see your newly created calendar in the left-side toolbar.
• Click on the three vertical dots on your calendar and choose “Settings and sharing.”
• Scroll down to (or click in the left sidebar) the topic “Integrate calendar.”
• Click on “Embed code” and copy the code.
• Move back to your Canvas “Home Page.”
• Paste your copied HTML code from your chosen calendar here.
• Click on “Rich Content Editor,” and you should now see your calendar.

Now, every time you add a slide, change or modify the content, or update your calendar, your Canvas home page will automatically be updated in real-time.

2.  Think of “modules” as units or sections of time.

Label each module with a unit name or length of time, so students know where you are in the learning process. For example, “Unit 1: Shading with Value” can have assignments, tasks, quizzes, etc. in one module that relate to your unit on value. You can set up your units (modules) ahead of time and lock them, so students only see the unit or units you are working on at any given time.

3.  Copy or move content from a previous course.

Don’t reinvent the wheel each semester. Instead, import content from the previous year and modify it as needed. You can move unused content to the bottom for later or delete it altogether.

• Click on “Import Existing Content.”
• Click on the dropdown menu under “Content Type” and choose “Copy a Canvas Course.”
• Select a course from the dropdown menu.
• Select “All content” if you want to completely duplicate your previous course, or “Select specific content” if you want to pick and choose what you import.
• Click “Adjust events and due dates” and then select “Remove dates.” You can modify dates for each task later.
• Click “Import.”
• If you clicked “Select specific content,” you can click “Select Content” on the right and choose whatever you want to import. That content will be queued to import.
• After your content has been “completed,” you will see all content available in your Canvas Course.

4.  Create an unpublished course and use it as a template.

When building a course, it can be very helpful to make a “fake course” to create a skeleton or framework of where you want to go. By creating this unpublished course, you can always come back to add more—creating a storage location for the course. You can also share this course with your team and collaboratively add material to share.

5. Get rid of the excess.

Help students navigate where you want them to by hiding excess tools. If you leave “Assignments” or “Discussions” in the sidebar, students will click on those to access their tasks. Instead, have students navigate through and within the unit (module) to get to their tasks. This will ensure they read all the required content instead of jumping to the task.

• Click on “Settings” on the bottom left of your sidebar.
• Click on “Navigation” along the top tabs.
• Drag and drop your options to the top (what you want visible to students, and in what order) or to the bottom (what you want to be hidden).

6.  Front-load material and check for understanding.

In each module, provide video tutorials or review content by linking YouTube videos or Google Slides. Once they have watched your lesson, you can use Canvas Quizzes or Discussion Boards to check they not only accessed the content but also understood it. You can also make all items required within a module so students must navigate through each task in the unit.

7.  Link real-time, editable Google Slides or Docs instead of uploading files.

We are constantly updating our content, fixing a typo, or clarifying our expectations. Why not do this in real-time instead of re-uploading files constantly? When you share content from Google, make sure the link is set to “view only,” so students don’t accidentally change your content.

8.  Ask students to submit links instead of files.

When students place a finished artwork in a Google Slides Portfolio or Google Doc, they can add all sorts of key information such as reflection comments and annotations to their work. Using a link allows you to access that shared document and provide feedback through comments directly on the slide or document. Ensure privacy settings allow others to view or edit; otherwise, you will have to request access each time a student submits.

9.  Encourage collaboration by using a template. 

When you create a template in Google, you can ensure all students have the content you are asking from them. Using this real-time document, students can collaborate or you can delegate the expectations, so students teach each other.

Students can use a copy of your template to answer questions, for example. When you copy the link, make sure to change the extension to “/copy.” This will automatically prompt students to make a copy, so they won’t accidentally edit your class template document.

Students can also add to your collaborative document or slide. In Google Slides, you can make your expectation slide a template where students can copy and paste to create their own slide in the deck. Or, you can create different slides for students to choose from or assign, so each student contributes to a larger learning document.

10.  Personalize your Dashboard with colors and images.

When you change the color or image that appears in your dashboard for each of your classes, your students will see it as well. This is a great way to personalize your course and give students a visual cue when they have six other classes on their dashboard.

To add a personalized image to your dashboard courses:

• Click on your course.
• Click on “Settings” in the lower-left corner of the sidebar menu.
• Click on “Course Details.”
• Upload an image from the “Choose Image” option.

There are many different ways to organize your content using Canvas. When you get more adept at using this Learning Management System, you can create cohorts and groupings to help you manage students in hybrid and at home. However, these basic tips will get you headed in the right direction to help you build your Canvas confidence!

How-to: create collaborative group assignments in canvas with google drive.

By:  Gracia Ostendorf     

Imagine this scenario...

Professor Morgan is teaching an English Studies course online this term in which his studies are required to complete a group project analyzing a piece of literature. Since the course is online, students won’t be meeting together in person. He needs to come up with a way for the students to easily collaborate and share their ideas (ideally in a way where he can see how individual students are contributing to the assignment too)!

As a Miami instructor, Professor Morgan and all of his students have access to a Google Drive account with their Miami email addresses. And fortunately, there’s a simple way to create space for collaborative work right within the course site by integrating these two tools.

Using Collaborations + Google Drive for group assignments and detailed feedback

With Canvas’s Collaborations tool, students and instructors can create Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides directly within their Canvas course site and share them with others in the course. Between students, this makes it easy to start a collaborative brainstorming document, report, presentation, or other type of group assignment.

Instructors can also take advantage of this feature to provide detailed feedback, comments, and suggestions directly on brainstorming documents, papers, and assignment files.

To start a Collaboration:

• Click on Collaborations in the left-hand navigation menu (if this isn’t visible to students, the instructor will need to update the navigation menu options in the course settings).
• If this is your first time using Google Drive in Canvas, authorize Google by following the prompt that appears.

• Select the type of Collaboration you’d like to start from the “Collaborate using:” dropdown: Google Docs (1) or Google Apps (2). Google Apps gives you the option of creating a Document, Spreadsheet, or Presentation.

• Give your collaboration a name and a description if desired. Add collaborators by selecting their name from the list that appears on the left, then click the “Start Collaborating” button.

Important information for students on using Collaborations:

Students can view a list of all of their Collaborations at any time from the Collaborations page. Students will also be able to see the documents, spreadsheets, and presentations created in Canvas Collaborations from within their own Google Drives as well.

Note that instructors will be able to view all Collaborations created in a course, regardless of whether the instructor was specifically added as a collaborator or not.

Need instructions to share with your students to explain how they can access and work with Collaborations in Canvas? Try these step by step guides:

• How do I view Collaborations as a student?
• How do I create a Google Drive collaboration as a student?

For more information on setting up Collaborations with Google Drive, take a look at these instructor-facing guides:

Introducing Google Assignments LTI 1.3 in Canvas!

November 27, 2023

Dear Chapman Students, Instructors, and Staff,

Do you use the Google integration in Canvas to submit assignments, add files (Docs, Sheets, Slides) to modules and pages, or create collaborations?

As announced in this November 6 communication , we now have two Google integrations in Canvas: the old Google Apps LTI and the new Google Assignments LTI 1.3.  Starting this week and through the end of the spring semester, you will see both Google integrations in Canvas.  You can choose to continue using Google Apps LTI for now or switch to Google Assignments LTI 1.3.  We recommend that you start using Google Assignments LTI 1.3.

Google Apps LTI will reach end-of-life in June 2024.

How does Google Assignments LTI 1.3 compare with Google Apps LTI?

Both of these integrations have the same core features:

Google Drive Linking and Embedding

• Teachers can link to a live Google Drive file in their Canvas Modules.
• Easily embed files from your Google Drive anywhere you use the Rich Content Editor in Canvas (Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Quizzes, Syllabus).

Google Drive Assignments

• Students can submit files from Google Drive for assignments.
• Teachers can view and grade submitted student assignments in SpeedGrader.
• Teachers can use Google Drive to create a cloud assignment and send a copy of Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides to each assigned student.

Google Drive Collaborations

• Teachers and students can create collaborative documents and more using Google Drive in the Collaborations area of Canvas courses and groups.

What’s new with Google Assignments LTI 1.3?

• Uses Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) 1.3 for stronger security.
• Officially supported by Google and covered by the Google Workspace for Education Terms of Service.
• Google Apps LTI allows users to collaborate only on Docs, Sheets and Slides, whereas Google Assignments LTI 1.3 also supports Forms, Drawings, and Sites .

How do I use Google Assignments LTI 1.3 in Canvas?

You can find Google Assignments LTI 1.3 in all of the same places in Canvas as the old Google Apps LTI.

• Google Assignments LTI 1.3 step-by-step instructions for students
• Google Assignments LTI 1.3 step-by-step instructions for instructors and staff

We will share more information and key dates about the transition in future announcements.  If you have questions or need support with using Google Assignments LTI 1.3 in Canvas, please contact the Educational Technology Services team at [email protected].

5 Better Alternatives To Google Slides

I f you're looking to create a compelling presentation to showcase a new idea or persuade others, Google Slides may be the first option that comes to mind. But with few built-in templates, basic themes, and a limited graphics collection, you'll likely have a hard time making your presentation stand out against others.

If you want to make your presentation truly stand out, there are several alternatives to Google Slides that offer extra perks and features to give your presentations an edge. While Google focuses on integrating Slides with its other work-based apps like Sheets and Docs, other presentation apps focus more on design elements, transitions, and themes to help you convey your brand or personal image throughout your presentation.

We've tested these Google Slide alternatives to give you an idea of other available options to deliver impactful presentations. If you're looking for a way to make boring information more fun and engaging, here are the best presentation apps to replace Google Slides.

Microsoft PowerPoint

There's a reason so many businesses around the globe use Microsoft PowerPoint. Building its reputation as the go-to option for delivering high-quality presentations, the software generated $100 million in annual sales only three years after its initial release in 1990.

Microsoft PowerPoint may be Google Slides' largest competitor, but there are plenty of unique features that can add an extra flourish to your slides. PowerPoint excels in its impressive library of custom animations and slide transitions, which are fairly limited in Google Slides. Another unique feature is its AI-powered Designer tool. This provides professional design schemes that mirror the words used in your slides. For instance, if your title slide is named "Basketball Team 2024," Designer will automatically suggest pictures and slide layouts associated with basketball.

As PowerPoint has been in development longer than Google Slides, it naturally offers more nuanced features if you're looking for something specific. For example, you can save individual slides as an image file (using .png or .jpeg formats) or as a separate presentation file. There's also a large library of free PowerPoint templates designed to speed up your workflow. Moreover, PowerPoint integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams with its PowerPoint Live function, allowing you to easily share your presentation with your co-workers.

Prezi offers an innovative approach to showing presentations with its unique canvas feature. Unlike traditional presentation software, Prezi lets you zoom and pan around a flexible canvas. The canvas may feel distant to something of a presentation program, but there is still some linear order provided thanks to the Timeline view.

Finding ways to visualize data is one of the biggest challenges when dealing with presentation software. Prezi resolves this struggle with the help of its Story Blocks: a series of infographics available in multiple designs to visually represent data. You can easily edit infographics and even add animations to individual shapes. This can help add a story to your presentation and help you emphasize key points.

To further enhance your presentation visually, Prezi offers several topic path settings, which let you change how Prezi transitions from one topic to another. These options include subtopics, which are super helpful for breaking large chunks of information down. If you're looking for a unique, modern approach to presenting information, Prezi is a top pick.

If you're looking to create a professional presentation to convince potential clients about your business idea, Slidebean is a popular choice among professionals with plenty of customization options. One of the issues with Google Slides is its fairly limited template library, which is filled mostly with basic designs. Slidebean offers a better alternative with a broad selection of innovative templates split into categories for convenience.

The app's user interface is easy to navigate so that you can create slides in less time. Each slide has a dedicated Design and Outline tab. You can use the Outline tab to quickly edit the information on each slide without being distracted by all the visual elements. Another productivity-enhancing feature is the ability to generate a presentation theme from your website. Simply enter your URL, and Slidebean will automatically apply the theming to your presentation.

Slidebean is another presentation app to take advantage of AI. Using the Auto-Design feature, you can generate recommended slide layouts based on your existing content. It also features AI text suggestions designed to suit different industries. Overall, Slidebean offers a quicker, more efficient method for creating stunning presentations compared to Google Slides.

Canva is a well-known app among graphic designers, but it's also capable of making stunning presentations. The app also has mobile editions, so you can easily create and edit presentations on your Android phone , iOS device, or tablet. As long as you have an internet connection, you can modify your designs wherever you are.

To get started, head to Canva's online presentation maker . Canva offers a vast range of templates categorized by topic, which easily surpasses the simple templates in Google Slides . While some of the templates are only available to Canva Pro members, there is an ample amount of free templates to help you get started. You'll also find a large selection of stock photos, shapes, and illustrations to create beautiful customized slides.

Because Canva is built for graphic designers, you can access several features to give your presentation consistent theming. These include color palettes, font sets, and even a brand kit that allows you to add your company's fonts (available to Pro members only). One time-saving feature is Canva's Uploads tab, which lets you access recently uploaded media files. This offers a convenient way to copy content between different presentations.

Visme is a powerful visual design tool able to create videos, infographics, and presentations. One of the perks of using Visme is the company's free educational content, which offers advice on how to create impactful content to boost your brand. After signing up, the company also asks whether you're using Visme for your business, education purposes, or personal use to offer personalized tips.

In terms of charts and graphs, Visme offers some of the most impressive features we've seen from a presentation app, so you can effortlessly convey important statistics. From the Data tab, you can access dozens of graph styles to visually represent your data. Then, simply double-click a chart inside your presentation to edit the values instantly in a simple table format.

Another area that Visme excels in is collaboration. You can either generate a link to publish your presentation on the web or share your presentation privately with others. For each team member, you can choose who can view, edit, and comment slides for a seamless workflow. There's also a Slack integration that lets you receive messages whenever changes are made to your presentation. Visme is free for all users, with limited features available in its premium plans.
