 Accessible anytime anywhere: The service can be availed anytime and anywhere across several devices.
 Supports assessment through assignments and quizzes: Google Classroom provides a beautifully designed evaluation framework. It
provides a platform to create, distribute and grade digital assignments. Students can view the assignment given by the teacher and can
edit their own copy and submit. They can also upload an external file for evaluation. For this, classroom provides integration with
Google Drive. Teachers can then grade the turned in assignments and return along with comments. Similarly, the quizzes can also be
evaluated automatically or manually.
 Students' progress can be tracked: Through assignments, quizzes and questions, the teachers can grade the students and track their
progress. A Grade Book is maintained that records the scores of each student.

assignments being posted or release of scores and also for posting comments to a student. Attachments can be made to announcements
and posts to share content like YouTube Videos and files from Google Drive.

appropriately schedule the posting of a material like course content, assignment or quiz. A due date can also be set for assignments or
quizzes to monitor late submissions.

Google Docs is a potent collaborative online tool in which the users can make additions/improvements/deletions in the document on a real-time
basis. Such changes in the document along with the origin of the change point are instantly reflected in the document. In this video, the interface
of the Google document has been shown through a demonstration in which specific focus was given on sharing the resource with multiple users.
Additionally, the same methodology could be adopted to share spreadsheets, slide presentations, Google forms, and drawings.

Introduction to Google forms

Google Form is a free online tool that can be used to create surveys and quizzes. The form when complete in all respects should be shared with
the potential respondents. A shareable link can be generated from the interface key. The person who has created the form is the administrator who
can add other people as collaborators. These collaborators can make suitable changes to the form if permission has been accorded by the
administrator. Depending on the type of survey to be created the form creator can mold scales and other interfaces of the form to make it lively
and interactive.

The information so collected is stored in a spreadsheet form by creating a link between the form and the spreadsheet. This spreadsheet can be
downloaded and retrieved for later usage. In this video lecture, how the form can be created has been demonstrated by taking real examples. The
interface of the responses after data collection and the spreadsheet has also been demonstrated.
