Exporting Google Doc Files for Sakai

Northwest State Community College is unable to accept Google Document (.gdoc) files for Sakai assignments unless they are specifically requested by the instructor. If you are using (Formerly Google Docs) to compose your assignments, you must export the file in an acceptable format before submitting your assignment. NSCC instructors prefer Microsoft Office format (.docx and .doc format). Your instructor can let you know if any other formats are acceptable.

To get started, open Google Drive on your computer and locate the file you would like to upload to Sakai. You can download the file one of two ways: from the main My Drive page or from the document editor.

Please be aware that it is possible to lose some formatting if you convert from Google Documents to Microsoft Word documents. Usually, this is very minor spacing issues. NSCC instructors will not deduct points for these types of formatting error.
