Gentle reminder: Update all content highlighted in yellow to reflect your institution.

When students work together on assignments such as papers or projects, they may need a centralized location to store and work on shared documents. The Collaborations area in <Replace - Your LMS> houses third party document sharing tools, such as Google Docs. 

Both students and instructors can start a new collaboration using Google Docs. A notification will be sent to those who were invited so that they can easily access the shared document and get started.
