How to Add and Use a Google Form to Your Sleedu Course


How to Add a Google Form to Your Sleedu Course

This tutorial shows you how to link a Google Form inside a Sleedu course using the URL resource. The same steps work for any web link — videos, articles, shared documents, sign-up sheets, and more.

1Turn on Edit mode

Open your course in Sleedu and switch on the Edit mode toggle in the top-right corner of the page. You can only add resources while editing is on.

2Add an activity or resource

Scroll to the section of the course where you want the form to appear. Click the + button, then choose Activity or resource.

Clicking the plus button and selecting Activity or resource
The + button appears on the dashed line between course sections.

3Select the URL resource

In the activity chooser, click the Resources tab, then select URL.

The Resources tab with the URL resource highlighted
URL is listed alongside Page and Text and media area under Resources.

4Open your Google Form

In another browser tab, open the Google Form you want to share. Make sure the form is finished and, if you collect email addresses, that the settings are the way you want them.

5Copy the responder link

In the Google Form toolbar, click the link icon (🔗) labeled Copy responder link. This copies the address students will use to fill out the form.

Tip: Make sure the form is Published and available to respondents, or students will see a permission error when they click the link.

6Name the resource and paste the link

Back in Sleedu, fill in the General settings:

Name — what students will see in the course (for example, Assignment Extension or Make-Up Work Request).
External URL — paste the responder link you copied in Step 5.

Then scroll down and click Save and return to course.

The General settings with the Name and External URL fields filled in
Both fields marked with a red icon are required.

7Done! Check the link in your course

The Google Form now appears as a clickable link in your course section. Turn off Edit mode and click the link to confirm it opens the form correctly.

Works with any URL: these exact steps let you add anything with a web address to your course — YouTube videos, news articles, Google Docs, library databases, sign-up sheets, and more. Just paste a different link in the External URL field in Step 6.
