Differentiated Assignments by Individual

Have you ever needed to give a student a make-up test?
Have you ever needed to allow a student to turn in work early or late?

Well now you can!

Differentiated Assignments by Individual

In Assignments, Quizzes, and Graded Discussions instructors have the flexibility to differentiate assignments between individual students and select which students are required to complete specific tasks and when.  When creating or editing an assignment, instructors can specify whether the assignment should be for everyone in the course, for specific sections, or for individual students. Only the section(s) or student(s) specified in the assignment details can view the assignment. Varied due date functionality remains available for each assignment.

This feature can also be used with the existing ability to create an assignment by section. If the assignment is not created for everyone, Canvas will notify the assignment creator that course sections have not been added to the assignment.





In the Gradebook, assignment grade cells are grayed out for students who have not been included in the assignment. Assignments that are not assigned to a student are not factored into the student’s overall grades.
