How Nubric integrates with Google Classroom

Nubric integrates with Google Classroom to help teachers assign quizzes to students more efficiently. Depending on your institution’s Google plan, you can either use the Nubric Google Classroom add-on for a fully embedded workflow or assign quizzes through Nubric.com using a share-and-assign flow.

What It Is

The Nubric integration with Google Classroom is a set of workflows that connect Nubric quizzes with Google Classroom assignments. This integration allows teachers to:

• Create and manage quizzes in Nubric.
• Deliver quizzes to students through Google Classroom.
• Let students access quizzes from their Classroom assignments.
• Track student attempts in Nubric.

Nubric supports two main integration methods in Google Classroom:

• Google Classroom add-on integration (embedded inside Classroom).
• Assignment flow without the add-on (managed from https://nubric.com/).

Why It Matters

Many teachers use Google Classroom as the central place where students receive assignments and submit work. Without integration, assigning interactive math quizzes typically requires manual link sharing, duplicated workflows, and additional setup steps. The Nubric integration reduces this friction by:

• Keeping quiz delivery aligned with the teacher's existing Classroom workflow.
• Reducing the number of tools and tabs needed during assignment creation.
• Making it easier for students to access quizzes from a familiar environment.
• Supporting more consistent tracking of quiz usage and attempts.

How It Works

Stage 1: Quiz availability in Nubric

A quiz is created and stored in Nubric. This quiz acts as the source of truth for:

• Question content.
• Random variables and generation logic.
• Evaluation rules.
• Quiz settings.

Stage 2: Assignment connection to Google Classroom

Nubric creates a connection between the quiz and a Google Classroom assignment using one of two approaches:

Option A: Add-on workflow (embedded)

When using the add-on:

• The teacher opens Nubric inside the Google Classroom assignment editor.
• The teacher selects or creates a quiz.
• The quiz is attached directly to the assignment.

This workflow is designed to keep the teacher inside Google Classroom.

Option B: Without add-on (assign from Nubric)

When add-ons are not available:

• The teacher works at https://nubric.com/.
• The teacher selects Assign to my students.
• The teacher chooses a Google Classroom class.
• Nubric generates the assignment in Google Classroom.

This workflow works for all teachers, regardless of add-on availability.

Stage 3: Student access and quiz attempt

Students access the quiz from Google Classroom by opening the assignment. Nubric then:

• Loads the quiz attempt.
• Generates random variables (if present).
• Evaluates student answers according to the configured rules.

Key Rules or Behaviours

• The add-on workflow is only available for institutions with supported Google for Education plans.
• The "assign from Nubric" workflow works even when add-ons are not supported.
• Quizzes remain managed in Nubric, even when delivered through Google Classroom.
• Random variables are generated per student attempt, so students may receive different values.

Examples

Using the add-on for faster assignment creation.
A teacher creates an assignment in Google Classroom and uses the Nubric add-on to attach a quiz without leaving the Classroom interface. The quiz is immediately linked to the assignment and ready for students.

Assigning without add-ons.
A teacher whose institution does not support Classroom add-ons creates a quiz on Nubric.com and uses the “Assign to my students” option. Nubric creates the assignment in Google Classroom so students can access the quiz normally.
