[DG: Teaching & Learning] Using Google Docs

[Matthew Jones]

I think it would depend on how you define it. Saying it like that, currently
as implemented it probably wouldn't work out that well and be a lot of work.
You'd need to collect all of your students Google id's, create google groups
(rather than Sakai groups), add them to these, then share the documents to
this google group. Then you could add it to the site with this tool.

However some things that might be easier:
- If you're a professor that likes to use google documents and want to give
a more transparent way for your class to access the document(s), then this
would work.
- If you want your entire class to collaborate on a few documents (maybe one
or two a week) then this would probably work out well.

All of the access control is still on the Google side with whoever owns the
document.

As far as the enhancement, if you're an rSmart customer you could possibly
email them. Otherwise I'm not sure.
