Add a Google Doc to Group Resources for class collaboration

You can add a Google Docs™ document (Google Doc) to the Group Resources widget for a class so that everyone can collaborate on it. Google tracks all changes, using different text colors to represent user edits. In addition, the document's revision history is available to all users.

  1. Go to the class Page that you want to add a Google Doc to.
  2. If your Page does not have the Group Resources widget on it, edit the Page to add that widget.
  3. In the title bar of the Group Resources widget, click Edit.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Click My Resources. The My Resources pop-up appears. Click, drag, and drop the appropriate file onto the Group Resources widget.
    • In the Group Resources widget, select the folder you want to put the Google Doc in. Click Add, and then click Google Doc. Select the Google Doc that you want all class members to have access to. Note that if you do not select a folder, Aspen will automatically create a group folder and put the Google Doc inside it.

All group members have instant access to the document. Whenever someone makes an edit to the document, Google tracks the changes.
