Frequently Asked Question

It is possible to store all of your homework files in Google Drive and then submit them through Moodle (InsideTrinity) if your teacher is using the assignment submission features of Moodle.

So let's say your teacher has added an assignment to your Moodle Course.  And this assignment requires you to submit a paper by uploading the paper directly into Moodle.  And just for argument let's assume that you have written your assignment in Google Docs, or at the very least have been using Google Drive to store your Paper.

Normally you would have to download the file onto your computer, then upload it to Moodle in order to submit it.  That however is not necessary.  Moodle is more than capable of accessing your Google Drive and allowing you to download files directly into Moodle.
