Google Drive has been instrumental in streamlining the process of storing and sharing files, especially in document-intense courses like Seminars and Practicums. While there are a number of advantages to setting up our system this way, there has been some difficulty navigating around the shared folders as they don’t always feel intuitive for a particular task.
All of the course documents are shared to allow anyone who has the link to view the contents of the folder. You can also download certain types of files without as much as logging into Google.
1. In the course, you will find a reference and a link to a course document.
2. Once you are in the file, you may either 1) copy it to your own Drive and then make all sorts of edits, or 2) download it to your computer and then make all sorts of edits. Sometimes, the link will take to you a page where you are prompted to make a copy of the file right away!
Note: You can also print any printable file, and when it comes to PDF and Word Files, even download them without logging in.
