This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit K12OC-I-644 Assignments for individual students only.
Many of our teachers stagger out project due dates for students and it would be so helpful for the due date for each student to be the actual due date for them not just one for the whole group. This could also be used to only give certain assignments to certain students if a teacher deemed necessary. It really is very limiting to have most things in the system relate to a whole group at a time. We definitely needs this for assignments, but it would be useful for announcements and events as well.
Happy to share this is implemented! Thank you for your votes and advocacy. From our release notes:
Assignments for individual students or groups
Teachers can now add assignments for a specific student or group of students. Teachers can use this for makeup work, extra credit assignments, group projects, and more! Teachers will need to select the students the assignment should be assigned to when they add a new one. Under Publishing options, they will need to select the Edit icon next to Full Section then select Selected students. They will then see their course roster and can select students from the available list.
Once an assignment is assigned to specific students, it will appear on the Assignment center with # students listed. Teachers can select this to view the students they have selected for the assignment. Teachers can add additional students by editing the assignment. Students will only see these assignments if they are assigned to them.
