Before you can add Google Drive files to your course, you must enable the Google Drive tool in Studio or OLX (open learning XML).

Enable the Google Drive Files Tool in Studio#

To enable the Google Drive tool in Studio, you add the "google-document" key to the Advanced Module List on the Advanced Settings page. For more information, see Enable Additional Exercises and Tools.

Alternatively, you can use OLX to enable the Google Drive tool.

Enable Google Drive Files in OLX#

To enable Google Drive files in your course, you edit the XML file that defines the course structure. You locate the course element’s advanced-modules attribute, and add the string google-document to it.

For example, the following XML code enables Google Drive files in a course. It also enables Google calendars.

<course advanced_modules="[&quot;google-document&quot;,
    &quot;google-calendar&quot;]" display_name="Sample Course"
    start="2014-01-01T00:00:00Z">
    ...
</course>
