Creating a link to a Google Document
Google Documents are available for those with a Gmail account or those with a Stony Brook email address.
To use your Google Apps for Education Stony Brook account go to:
stonybrook.edu/mycloud and log in with your NetID and password and click 'Save'
Click on the square of dots in the upper right hand corner.
Click on the 'Drive' icon.
Create a Google document and copy and paste (using 'Ctrl c' to copy / 'Ctrl v' to paste) which will give you easy editing access to your document later.
Click 'Share' and when prompted to title your document, give your document a title.
You will need to change the privacy settings from your document from 'Private' to 'Anyone with a link can view.' Click 'Change.'
Review that the settings are correct, and copy the URL and click 'Done.'
To add a hyperlink to the Text Module of an ePortfolio, you must first write the text that you want to turn into a hyperlink. Select the text and click on the 'Hyperlink' button.
Paste the URL, set the target to 'Open in a new window' and give your link a description and click 'Insert.'
You must click save and then publish the module. Then you may click View mode to test the link.
