[ARCHIVED] Google Assignments LTI Transition from Google drive cloud assignments

[JackDeWitt]

I currently have a course with many assignments linked to Google documents using the soon to be deprecated Google App for creating Google Drive Cloud Assignments. A few questions:

1) Do I need to redo all my assignments with the new Google Assignments LTI?

2) Is there a way to automate or reduce the effort to do this?

3) In playing with it, I can't find a way to embed a Google Document that allows a student to respond inline in the document rather thank having to download it. Am I doing something wrong?

I would like to know the answer to this as well. Many of my teachers used Google Cloud Assignments, and with the end of the year coming, I know many want to be able to use these same things next year. I want to know if there is an easy way to do this, or will I need to go to every Google Cloud assignment and change them over to Google Assignments LTI 1.3?

I am interested to know if we will have to relink any resources added to pages or in the body of assignments. Some Slides or Docs I have to delete and reupload to the pages they were on, and others I do not. What determines whether this is necessary?

As for external tool assignments, I have consistently found that I have had to redo any external tool assignment that was created with the Google Apps.

Here is the guidance we provided our teachers for converting Google Cloud Assignments to Google Assignments LTI - I hope it might help some of you who are still having challenges.

We've had much better success with the new LTI versus the cloud assignments.  Too often the cloud assignment would submit an empty copy of the student work and when we would go to the student drive it there would be multiple copies of the work.  Then there wasn't an easy way to submit the completed work to the teacher.  All of those issues are fixed with Google Assignments LTI.  The change is hard for some of our teachers, but usually, given time, they really appreciate the new way.
