Using Microsoft OneDrive and Teams within Canvas

Microsoft OneDrive and Teams is integrated into Canvas in a few ways.

OneDrive:

• A link in the left sidebar connects to your personal OneDrive folder
• The Collaborations fool allows for collaborative editing of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files
• The Rich Text Editor available throughout Canvas includes a button to link to OneDrive files
• The Assignment Submission Type External > Office 365 Cloud Assignment allows you to make available a document each of your students can edit and submit  
• Setup a OneDrive folder for your course and set it to be shared with “People in St. Lawrence University with the link” and share that link within Canvas
  • Note: anyone with a SLU network account would be able to access this folder, but only those with access to the link (your class) would know where to find it
• If your students each share Read or Edit access to a OneDrive folder with a "specific person" (you in this case), that would give you the ability to share and collaborate on files.  Those folders would be available in your OneDrive under "Shared with You"

Teams:

• For most video conferencing needs, professors will use Zoom, Teams is also available
• A button in the Rich Text Editor allows you to schedule and add a Teams Meeting link to a Page, Announcement, the Calendar, etc
