  • Create cloud assignments for students to submit without downloading a document.

  • Easily create and add course materials, quizzes, and collaborative documents from your OneDrive folders to your courses Modules.

  • Use Microsoft 365 documents, spreadsheets, or presentations for Collaborations.

Caution

Any Microsoft 365 content in a course will break when the course is copied into a new course shell. The links are inaccessible, even when the original folder owner is the current course instructor. Instructors should update the links in the copied course.
