Four Course Delivery Models Using Google

Option 1: Using Calendar

Set up a Public Google Calendar or share an exclusive Google Calendar with your students
Use a "recurring event" to add meeting times to the calender and add a Meet link for video-meetings
Enter a reading list, links to homework documents in Drive, videos to watch, and an agenda in the description for each course event
Enter appointment slots for office hours so your students can book time to meet with you

Option 2: Using Drive

Set up a shared Google Folder for you and your class
Create sub-folders in the primary folder for each unit, module, lesson, theme, or project (however you organize your course content)
Label each lesson numerically so that learners can easily find which lesson to do in sequence in each sub-folder
Create a shared submission folder for turning in assignments and/or use Google Forms to create a dropbox or quiz for learners
Place all learning content in Google Documents, Slides, Forms, Sheets, or Drawings to provide instruction

Option 3: Using Classroom

Decide how you want to organize your course: themes, topics, weeks, modules, etc
Create a Google Classroom and begin to organize content in the stream through folders and documents
Create discussion prompts for students to discuss content asynchronously
Schedule events with Meet for live discussions
Publish your course to your students
(Ask your administrators to consider Google Course Kit, currently in Beta, to augment your teaching strategies)

Option 4: Using Sites

Decide how you want to organize your course: themes, topics, weeks, modules, etc.
Open Google Sites and select "New Sites" (classic sites may not be entirely supported and thus students may not be able to see all content there)
Select a theme to organize your content
Create pages for each module
Populate the pages with content
Publish your site
