Classroom collaboration, without the fuss

Students and teachers can open and edit their documents quickly. No more distractions like USB keys, outdated file attachments, or confusing client software.

Secure access controls

Administrators can manage file sharing permissions system-wide, and document owners can share and revoke file access at any time.

Anytime, anywhere access

Google Docs lets users be productive at school, at home, and even on their mobile phones. Because Google Docs runs in a web browser, students can work from almost any family computer without having to purchase new software.

Easily upload and share files

Google Docs works on PC, Mac, and Linux computers, and supports popular formats such as .doc, .xls, .ppt, and .pdf. Files stored on Google Docs are always accessible and backed-up online.

Smarter commenting, better feedback

Google Docs' intuitive commenting feature is ideal for instructor and collaborator feedback. Revision history allows users to review (and revert) document edits over time.
