I already have Google added to my Moodle site (oauth and all that). When I create an assignment, I have access to my Google Docs on Google Drive, but it uploads it as a file. Is there any way to automatically link the Google Doc (create a copy for the student) and/or embed the Google Doc for the students. I can easily do this with Canvas Google LTI, but I can't figure it out with Google. Only with Google Assignments LTI in Moodle which requires an institutional account (not for us homeschoolers).
Good question, Sarah. Are you familiar with the resource called file? You go to add an activity or resource and choose "file". You add the link to your Google file (docs, presentation, form...), but you choose under appearance choose "In frame".
@@NellieDeutsch I added a file resource, added the link to my Google Doc in the Description, chose "Embed" for Appearance > Display (I can't find anything called ), and tried to save. It won't let me because it requires a file under "select files."
Hi Dr. Nellie, Great video! I have a question. Our moodle is quite old (2.9.9+ version) and referring to minute 13:39, when I fiil in the search tab "OAuth" does not find anything. I think, by that, is not possible to set up GoogleAuth?
@@NellieDeutsch Thank you very much. I can´t upgrade it by this time, because Is in use and we can´t afford any downtime right now. Of course, I´ll be consider upgrading as soon as we have the availability
Muchas Gracias por el tutorial. Muy bien explicado.

this is really awesome , i've tried to follow all steps , just the logon by google option not showup on Login page , not sure it this related to theme , currently i'm using Eguru theme, and i'm not able to find meta taq at minute 8::48 of the video , as looks like the domain verification method has been changed now

Hi Dr. Nellie, Watched the video.. very informative.. I do have a question. Is there any way to login into moodle using google sso id_token which i get while login by client_id and secret into other application, so that i can bypass the moodle login page and directly login through specific url which contains the logged credentials's id_token used from other website?
@Dr. Nellie Deutsch Thanks for answer...i have already setup oauth2 auth plugin google service in moodle site for google sso. but here the twist is like i want moodle to start user session via something like redirection page where i just accept the google sso id_token param and by validation of that it starts moodle session and shows moodle dashboad directly without asking username and password.
@@BhaveshTilvani You will need to use another site for this. Moodle allows you to have a signup page somewhere else. Go to admin > plugin > authentication > Alternate login URL alternateloginurl - "If you enter a URL here, it will be used as the login page for this site. The page should contain a form which has the action property set to 'yourdomain/login/index.php' ... Be careful not to enter an incorrect URL as you may lock yourself out of this site." Another option is to use Edwiser REMUI and ask support to create a script for you to remove the username/password from the login page on Moodle.

Glad to be of help. Moodle's authentication methods are not user friendly. I guess that's the only bad side to the platform. Moodle has a great security feature that minimizes spammers and hackers, but at the expensive of the students who have to verify their emails when creating new accounts. That often becomes very frustrating. There's no way around the verification process unless you want to compromise your site.
Hola gracias por la explicación realice todos los pasos, pero cuando el usuario se quiere logear con la cuenta de google le aparece un error fordiben y no se redirecciona a la pagina de mi plataforma como puedo solucionarlo
"Hello, thanks for the explanation, I did all the steps, but when the user wants to log in with the google account, a fordiben error appears and it is not redirected to the page of my platform, how can I solve it?" Did you confirm ownership of your Moodle website? What is the link of the site?
Maybe, your cron is not set properly. You can do it manually on your Moodle (write your domain address instead of site.example.com) site.example.com/admin/cron.php?password=opensesame You can set the password on the "crone" setting on the Moodle. Just search for the term "crone" and you'll find it.
