Hi all,

Has anyone else seen this from Google? https://edu.google.com/products/course-kit/ 

From their blurb:

"Course Kit allows educators to use tools like Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive from within their existing LMS without disrupting classroom management or work flows. Course Kit features a built-in grading tool that allows you to manage feedback all in one central place."

I have signed our school up for beta access; but it looks like a really interesting LTI link between LTI compatible LMS systems (like Moodle) and the Google Education Suite of tools...

We are using this and another "secret" project from Google.  Coursekit is great for sharing individual documents within Moodle.  It doesn't share folders.  We are getting teachers involved in trying out the coursekit assignment where they can turn in a google doc and teacher can grade and markup the doc within coursekit.  

It's basically a frontend to share and distribute Google Drive docs.  It is nothing more than an LTI connection to get started.  Very easy and simple to setup.  All of 5 minutes and you are ready to go.

Coursekit is really good for sharing individual docs within the Moodle itself.  I liked this feature the most...
