Canvas: Differentiation Tags

Instructors can now use differentiation tags to assign specific content to customized sets of students. These sets are not visible to students. 

Why would I use Differentiation Tags?

• Targeted Assignments: Easily assign homework, quizzes, or other materials to specific student tag sets using the "Assign To" feature.

• Differentiated Instruction: To provide personalized learning experiences, create tag sets based on learning styles, academic needs, or interests.

• Accommodation Tracking: Discreetly tag students who require accommodations, allowing instructors to identify and address their needs quickly.

• Streamlined Communication: Communicate with specific student tag sets through the Inbox without alerting the whole class.

• Gradebook Filtering: Filter the traditional gradebook to view and analyze the performance of specific student tag sets. 

Notes: 

• Each course is limited to 40 tags total and 10 variants per tag set.

• There is no limit to the total number of tags a student can have; however, a student can only be assigned one tag per tag set.

Archive Aware Team Tests

Last year a couple of teams explored using Aware for testing. If your team was one of them, make sure last year's tests were archived. If not, it will cause issues if you reuse a test without archiving. Directions.
