Ability to assign specific assignments to individual students Merged

The ability to assign specific assignments to specific students supports the differientiation needed in a heterogenous classroom. Having to add the assignment to all students and then exempt it from most of the class is problematic.

    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.

    This would also help with creating make up tests if this were part of the assessment portion as well.

    also, even when you exempt a student - while it shows as Exempt to the student, they are also still shown the status can can change it: to do, completed, overdue, submit, etc... This is confusing to the student.
