Files submitted by students in assignments may be converted to PDF files with the Google Drive converter. Teachers can then annotate directly on the submissions. This option provides a useful alternative for those organisations who are unable to install Unconv for document conversion.
Using the Google Drive converter
To enabling the Google Drive converter, an admin must
- Set up and configure the OAuth 2 Google service.
- Connect the Google service to a system account.
- Go to Site administration > Server > OAuth 2 services
- Click on the icon under "System account connected" column if there is a red X for Google.
- Go to 'Document converters' in the Site administration and enable the Google Drive converter.
- In the settings, select Google as the OAuth 2 service, then save changes.
A link is available to test the document conversion is working correctly. If you obtain a message saying that the system account is not linked, go to the OAuth 2 Google service settings and re-connect the Google service to the system account.
