Configuring Third-Party Integration

Configuring Google™ Services Integration

Teachers can use Google Drive, Google Apps for Education, and other Google services accounts in order to upload supplemental information to activities or to upload student resources. If teachers request a file upload from a student for an activity, students can also use Google accounts to upload their files.

If enabled for a district, students can log into ParentAccess and the Frontline ProgressBook Parent & Student app using Google accounts. Students in a district may be required to use OAuth logins if specified by the district (see the ParentAccess Administration Guide).

Completing the setup on this screen also enables districts to use Google Classroom as their third-party LMS.

Caution: Do not modify the settings on this screen unless you are at the ITC level. Changes made to this screen affect all districts served by the ITC.

To enable these abilities in VirtualClassroom, ParentAccess, and the Frontline ProgressBook Parent & Student app for all districts, complete the following steps:

1.On the Administrator Home Page, in the Application Setup section, click Third-Party API Settings.

2.At the bottom of the screen, click Edit Settings.

3.Follow the instructions found in the Configure Google Services Integration box.

Note: The Google Developers Console link on this screen requires you to navigate outside of the ProgressBook Suite.

4.When you have received the credentials from Google, enter them in the Client ID and Secret fields.

Note: If you want to let teachers view thumbnail images of their linked Google Drive files, you need to enter a key from the Google Developers Console in the Server API Key field.
