Set user preferences for teachers and students

After the district's Google API credentials are set up, teachers and students need to set their user preferences to allow Aspen and Google to communicate. They do this by adding or re-authenticating Google access in Aspen preferences. This makes it possible to share Google documents.

The teacher or student needs to have their Google account to perform the following steps.

Note: It is recommended that the teacher or student signs into their own Google account.

1. Log on to Aspen.
2. In the settings bar, click Set Preferences.
3. In the Set Preferences pop-up, click the Security tab:
4. At the Google Docs email field, click Add Google Access.

   Note: If the teacher or student has not logged in to their Google account, the Google sign-in page appears. After entering their Google credentials, click Sign In.

5. On the "Request for Permission" pop-up, click Accept to complete setup.

   Note: In the Set Preferences pop-up, Add Google Access becomes Remove Access. Teachers or students can click this anytime if they decide they do not want Aspen and Google to communicate.

6. Click OK.
