Convert Google Docs
The grading tool used in Canvas does not work well with Google docs. For this reason, most instructors will require that you submit your work as a pdf or as a Word document. The instructions and video tutorial below give tips on how to convert your google doc to a format that will work better.
Instructions
- Open your google doc
- Click on the "file" menu in the upper left corner of the screen
- Click on "download" in the file menu
- Select the file type
- PDF Document and Microsoft Word are the most commonly used
- Depending on your computer settings, you may be prompted to identify where to save the file. Many systems will automatically save the file in the downloads folder
