Microsoft 365 OneDrive Assignments

Cloud Assignments

Instructors can create Cloud Assignments through the Microsoft 365 external tool which embeds a document directly from their Microsoft 365 OneDrive folder. This assignment type creates a view of the assignment file that acts as a template for individual student assignment submissions.

Accepted assignment types are Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

Students can open the document, make changes per the assignment instructions, and submit the edited template as their submission  via the Quercus assignment page. Instructors can view each student’s submission in SpeedGrader for grading.

NOTE: Cloud assignments cannot be used for group assignments.

File Upload Assignments

Instructors can also continue to create regular file upload assignments. When an instructor allows file uploads, students can view the Office 365 tab and upload files directly from their OneDrive .

The accepted file types are Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, and PDF.

NOTE: Students can only submit one Office 365 file for their submission.

NOTE: When Office 365 files are uploaded as a submission, later changes made to the file in student’s OneDrive will not be updated in the submission.
