When you upload a PDF or Word file to AsULearn, if you need to make changes, you must delete the original file posted and add the updated file. If you are already using Google Docs, you can create a shareable link to the file and post that link. Then if you make updates to the Google file, they are reflected in AsULearn as well, eliminating the need to upload a more current version.
You can share the Google Docs associated with your Gmail account in a number of ways:
For each of these methods of sharing, you can also determine what rights you give with the share. Each person can be granted the following permissions:
To share a Google Doc, you must sign in to Google and locate the specific file.
Click the Share link in the Google document.
Click the Get shareable link text.
Once you have a shareable link, you add it to your course via the URL resource in AsULearn. See Link to a Web Site.
The default setting is to share within the university with various permissions. If you select Anyone at Appalachian State, the person must be signed in to their Mountaineer Apps Google account in the same browser they are using for AsULearn to be able to access the file.
Clicking the More... link provides additional options. Some faculty prefer to select Anyone with the link in order to avoid the potential Google sign in issue - if a student isn't signed into Google in the same browser, they see a link saying they need to 'Request Access' -- and you get an email you don't need.
