This will take you to the assignment creation page where you can create an assignment. You can select one or more classes from the Classes dropdown menu at the top-left. Be sure these classes match those selected in Newsela.
After the assignment is created, a message that the assignment has been posted to your class will appear. Click the View button to view your class stream, where you will see the assignment posted to your classroom.
I am trying to access course work from my Google Classroom in a Google Apps Script using the Classroom API v1. I followed the steps in the Quickstart to successfully retrieve my course list, but when I tried to access the coursework in one of my classes using the following:
From playing with the APIs Explorer, it looks like the "classroom.coursework.students.readonly" scope is needed for this command. However, that scope doesn't get added to my project when I hit the 'Allow' button in the permission dialog. Is there a way to add it to the scope list for the project? I've searched SO and have seen mention of setting scopes in other languages (python, for instance), but not in Apps Script. I've also seen mention of someone authorizing a scope manually in an Apps Script, but with no explanation on how to do that.
You need to add all 8 of these manually in your Apps script manifest file. To do that, navigate to View & check the Show manifest file. There you need to add this code, perhaps below dependencies -
In trying to ferret out the permissions issues, I tried making a call to Classroom.Courses.CourseWork.create, which triggered another authorization dialog that included additional permissions for accessing coursework. Even though my create call failed (I was still playing w/ the API and hadn't gotten the syntax right), the permissions it triggered were what I needed to get the course listing correct.
When google classroom was first released it was possible to simply add student to your classroom and they wouldn't have the choice to decline the invitation or remove themselves from the classroom. However, this is no longer the case. The current behaviour is that students have to join the classroom by accepting an invitation. We are finding that some some special educational needs students who struggle with computer use find the invitation method difficult to use. We also find that some students will deliberately not accept invitations to classrooms. Can the previous behaviour at least be put back as an option so that teachers have the ability to simply add students to classrooms without having to go through the whole invitation process.
@RoboOx Aside from GAM (command-line interface for interacting with the Classroom API), you can use the Google Sheets add-on (GUI interface) Classright to add students directly to classes, sans-invitation.
However, although it does have useful features, it still cannot force add students to a classroom when run from a teacher's access level (it throws and "API call to classroom.courses.students.create failed with error: The caller does not have permission" error). Even Classright's help pages say that to do this you have to be a "Google Workspace Administrator".
D2L Brightspace and Google Classroom are two of the leading educational software platforms of choice in K-12 classrooms. Both empower teachers to support their students in online learning environments. But how do you know which one is right for your needs?
