How Can I Link to Content From My Google Drive

This method saves space in your course content, as the actual content resides on your google drive, and you are only sharing a link to it.

1. Open your google drive and add the content there as a folder, document, presentation, etc.

2. Click on the “Share” button to obtain a shareable link for your item.

3. You can either add the emails of your students to allow only them to access the shared item, or you can change the link to AUC to allow anyone with AUC email to access the item.

Share with people and groups

4. Make sure you are sharing with the correct access rights. For example, people with the link will be able to view the shared item, but not edit it.

5. Click on “Copy Link” to copy the shared link and go to your blackboard course where you want to add the content.

6. Create new content item, and add the shared item as a link, or paste the link directly. Students will be able to view it when they click on the link.
