Create and share Microsoft documents (Ultra)

In case you want to create a document for students to collaborate and you do not use MS Teams in your course, you can create a document and save it in your drive/folder, provide access to your student, and then share the file link to your students in your Learn.UQ course. 

Note: The access method included in this guide is for a file with general content. If you have highly restricted content such as a research paper, please email the file link directly to the recipients.
