Embedded Cloud Document in an Ultra Course

If your course is in Original Course View, see the Original Course View tutorial collection.

Documents from your CMU OneDrive can be added to a course shell creating a sharable document that can be edited in the course without overriding the original.  A Cloud Document differs from a Collaborative Cloud Document in that it is only editable by the instructor.  A Collaborative Cloud Document allows students to edit and annotate on the document.  To embed a cloud document click the purple + > Create > Embedded Cloud Document > if prompted at a Microsoft screen, enter in your CMU email address > Click the radial button presented > Next:

Select your Microsoft User Account.

Locate the desired document from the available files you have access to:

Select the desired document:

Set the item to being visible to students. To edit the document, click Edit Document in the upper right corner.  Changes made are automatically saved.  Edits made do not apply to the original document stored in OneDrive. Only the instructor can edit an Embedded document.  If it is desired for students to edit the document, create instead a Cloud Collaboration Document.

Where are the files and data stored for this integration?

The files and data for this integration are stored on your institution SharePoint. A SharePoint site is created for each Blackboard course where the files for the course are stored. This site allows the tool to securely manage permissions and access files.

How do linked files in OneDrive behave when courses are archived or copied?

The OneDrive LTI supports course copy. A new SharePoint site is created for the new course, and all the files are copied over to the new course site. Educators and students are able to access the new copies of these files in the new course.
