SAFARI Montage Now Integrates with Google Classroom, Google Drive and Apps for Education!

West Conshohocken, PA (July 8, 2016) - SAFARI Montage is proud to announce an integration with Google Drive, Google Apps for Education and Google Classroom to provide SAFARI Montage Learning Object Repository (LOR) users with Single Sign-On access to their Google learning tools and resources from their LOR dashboard. Educators can easily search and upload Google Drive resources from the LOR and share SAFARI Montage learning objects, playlists and lessons to Google Classroom.

“Educators need one place to search for all of their curated learning objects so we have added their Google Drive to our federated search capabilities. Google Classroom is transforming itself into a bona fide Learning Management System which complements the SAFARI Montage LOR perfectly, so this integration has become a powerful extension for us,” said Andrew Schlessinger, CEO and Co-Founder, SAFARI Montage.

SAFARI Montage LOR users can now perform a federated search of their Google Drive from SAFARI Montage; upload, auto-convert and add Google files to playlists and digital lessons; and continue to collaborate on shared Google files while accessing Google resources through the LOR. They can also share SAFARI Montage learning objects, segments, playlists and lessons directly to Google Classroom for use in Google Classroom Announcements, Assignments and Questions.
