How do I add a Collaborative Document to my Course?
You may also learn how to add a Collaborative Document by following the instructions in the steps below.
- From the ‘Create Item’ menu, click on Cloud Collaboration.
- Instructors may need to sign into a Microsoft account to continue. Instructors can then select an existing document, or create a new file for collaboration. When creating a new collaboration, you can create the new Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, give it a name, as well as a description, too.
- Please Note: All student members of the course will be able to access the file. The students may select Edit Document in the top right corner of the page to begin collaborating on the file.
