When teachers create an assignment with submissions enabled, students can submit files directly on Schoology.

The recommended workflow to submit assignments will vary based on how students are submitting their work:

• Submitting from a web browser

• Submitting a Google Drive/OneDrive item to an Assignment via web browser

• Submitting to a Google Drive/OneDrive Assignment via web browser

• Submitting from a Chromebook web browser

• Submitting from the Schoology iOS app

• Submitting from the Schoology Android app

To make a submission to an assignment from the web platform, students can:

1. Click the assignment for which they'd like to make a submission.

2. Click Submit Assignment in the Submissions area in the right column.

3. Select one of these options:

   • Upload: Select a file saved to the computer.

   • Create: Create a document on the web using the text editor.

   • Resources: Select a file from the My Resources area or from a Resource App. 

4. Click Submit to finish. 
   Optional: Students can make another submission by clicking Re-submit Assignment from the Submissions area and follow the same steps above.

Using the Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive Resource Apps to Submit Assignments

Students can also submit materials to an assignment using the integrated Google Drive or OneDrive Resource apps, which they can access from the Resources tab. To submit, students select the file in their Google Drive or OneDrive, click Import, and then select Import File:

It is additionally possible to submit from Google Drive and OneDrive from the Create tab, using the Insert Content menu in the Rich Text Editor:

Schoology strongly recommends that students use the Resources tab workflow to submit Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive content. However, if they do submit via the Create tab, they can only successfully submit content by choosing Import Link in the Insert Content menu:

Using the Google Drive or OneDrive Assignments App to Submit Assignments

If the instructor connected an assignment with the Google Drive Assignments App, students can submit on the web version using the workflow outlined here.

If the instructor connected an assignment with the OneDrive Assignments App, students can submit on the web version using the workflow outlined here.

To make a submission to an assignment from the Chromebook web platform, students can:

1. Click the assignment for which they'd like to make a submission.

2. Click Submit Assignment in the Submissions area in the right column.

3. Select one of these options:
   

   • Create: Create a document on the web using the text editor.

   • Resources: Select a file from the My Resources area or from a Resource App. If the student is using Google Drive, simply check the Google Drive file you'd like to use and click Select to import the file to the assignment.

4. Click Submit to finish.

Note: Do not select Upload when submitting from a Chromebook—when you select this option from a Chromebook it draws directly from your Google Drive account which will not allow you to attach a file created in Google Drive unless there is a version of the file saved to the device (indicated by displaying a file size). Students can submit Google Drive files through Resources and from the Google Drive Resource App.
