This article introduces the "Class Shared Doc" view, accessible via the Views Tabs section. When selected, it loads the cloud-hosted document that the Instructor is sharing with the entire classroom.
Note: The Class Shared Doc tab is specifically to view the cloud-hosted document that the Instructor is sharing and will often involve an activity where class participants would be expected to edit the document directly, as opposed to just viewing it. Cloud-hosted documents can also be shared at the individual table level and those would be found under the "Table Shared Doc" view tab, if applicable.
Below is a visual example of the Class Shared Doc view with a Google Slide document being shared:
You'll notice the contents of the main panel are basic: a few buttons at the top-right of the screen with the majority of the panel consisting of the document itself. How the document looks will depend on the type of document being shared (e.g. spreadsheet, slideshow presentation, etc) and the cloud provider (e.g. Google, Microsoft).
This tab's view will be identical for all users of the classroom, regardless of role.
The buttons found at the top-right of the page are:
- Refresh - Click this to reload the cloud document. This can be helpful if it doesn't load properly the first time.
- Open in New Tab - Click this button to open the document in a separate browser tab, outside of Engageli. This can be helpful if the document won't load properly in Engageli or if you'd just like to see a larger view of it.
- Stop Document Sharing - Click this button to end the activity. This is only available to Instructors.
