Google Classroom (Workspace) Notes and Issues #64

Open mmcky opened 2 years ago

This issue is a place to store notes / issues / comments about experience using Google Workspace to run Workshops

Google Groups

There is an unpublished limit of ~100 invitations / day to the Google Group which makes batch processing of invitations difficult
Invitations cannot be sent out in bulk and they have to be entered in blocks of 10 using vscode to get the csv list from Google Forms in the correct format.
Setting up the group caused our main workshops@quantecon account to be frozen by Google due to a terms of service violation (i.e. spam).

Lessons Learnt:

For the India workshop see if we can just use Google Classroom to add students and send notifications. It will remove the need for Google Groups but we won't have the FORUM capability and may need a different "forum" solution.

Ideas:

A signup / registration process that is integrated to the workshop delivery platform would work best.

Google Classroom

When a Google workspace account sets up Google Classrooms you need to go into the organisation settings page to enable external access to the Google Classroom product. It is disabled by default due to data flowing out and in of the organisation drive accounts associated with Google Classroom products.
