Embed Google Docs

Embed Google Docs

OVERVIEW

Embedding Google Docs into an LMS page ensures that learners can access the document seamlessly within the LMS platform. Learners do not need to open a separate window or navigate away from the LMS to view the document/s. This accessibility simplifies the learning experience.

Use Case Example:

A university is using an LMS to facilitate a group project for an online course. The instructor wants to provide a collaborative space for students to work together on a research report. 

By embedding a Google Doc into an LMS page, the university facilitates seamless collaboration, real-time editing and feedback, version control and tracking, secure sharing, mobile accessibility, instructor monitoring, and timely notifications. This integration enhances the efficiency, productivity, and overall success of the group project within the LMS environment.
