Center for Teaching and Learning - Clovis Community College: Differentiation Tags

What are Differentiation Tags

Differentiation Tags is a Canvas feature that allows instructors to create custom sets of students within a course. These sets are hidden from students and can be used for various organizational and instructional purposes.

Ways to 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.
