Assigning Lumio lessons in Canvas using Google Drive

If you’ve connected both (Lumio) and Canvas to your Google Drive, you can attach your Lumio lesson to an assignment in Canvas via Google Drive.

Tip 

If you haven’t connected to Google Drive or don’t want your students working on materials outside of Canvas’s learning management system, you can embed Lumio lessons in your Canvas course as part of the navigation or as an assignment. Learn how.

You can insert a link to a Lumio lesson saved on your Google Drive in an assignment.
