Bath Spa Google Apps email - and Minerva
Gmail and Minerva are not (yet) closely related: but there's a certain amount you can do - here's how to work with both.
Share a Gmail apps resource - based on a SITS - based module or Minerva course
A Minerva module will display a list of users' email addresses - you can use this to set permissions to share a Google Aps resource as follows:
- For the 'Minerva' module in question, go to its Control Panel / Users and Groups.
- Select 'Users' - a table of users on your course appears, including their email addresses
- Copy the table
- Open a blank spreadsheet - paste the table (Use 'Paste special' and paste the table as text)
- Select the column containing the email addresses and copy its contents.
You can now paste the list of email addresses elsewhere. For instance, into a Google apps calendar 'Invite others' field, to give the group permissions to use that calendar. The field will accept multiple email addresses. Google will offer to send gmail invites to any email addresses that are not 'Google based'. Remember also, to set the permissions as you would like them.
Hint: when you've shared a resource in this way, from your Minerva module, provide a link to the resource so that it's easily findable by students.
