Handing out copies of a workspace

You can create copies of your workspace and share them with the current classes, with individual students or groups of students who are online.

Notes 

  • You must be connected to a class in order to share copies of your workspace with others.

  • Each copy is saved to a folder in your Google Drive. You are the owner of the original workspace and the workspace copies.

  • Each copy is automatically named with the student’s name.

  • When students alter copies of workspace, the original workspace remains unchanged.

  • You can view the handouts through the workspace menu (see Viewing the hand out copies).
