As an instructor, I want to keep my OneDrive and Sharepoint files private while I share then with students as assignments, so that I comply with my institution's rules for distribution and duplication copyrights.

Constraints

  • Comply with licensing/copyrights for distribution (no public sharing)
  • Comply with licensing/copyrights for duplication (no hosting)

Flow

🤷

Notes

  • Most obvious solution that does both is asking students to view files they have access to as themselves
    • Most students (in MS schools in particular) will have accounts.
  • Ideally, as an instructor selecting the file, I automatically share the file with the students in my courses who need it
    • But this would require knowing who those students are and I'm not sure we can do that
    • Fallback then is to hope that all those files are shared correctly and educate the users on how to do this

Talking with a school in Quebec, their stringent rules (which they felt would be similar in all schools in QC and BC) won't allow them to host PDFs using a method where the sharing settings are changed to "everyone with a link can view". This is true for copyrighted journal articles and for student work they want to use in the LMS app.

This is currently how our GDrive integration works, but Robert thought we might be able to investigate and see if it's possible to create integrations that don't change sharing settings (Slack thread).

As part of the investigation of a OneDrive integration, we should see if it's possible to get PDFs from OneDrive without changing the sharing settings.

See HubSpot note from May 31st, 2021 in this company.
