A teacher has an assignment that a students will work on over a period of time however, the due date is different for each student.  Can this be done in Canvas?  

ie; A project is assigned to students (has 5 different assignments in the project) and is due at the end of March.  The project has 5 parts each student will work on over the time period.  The students work on the 5 parts at different times.  Some students will work on Part 1, some on Part 2, some on Part 3, etc for this week.  So that means Part 1 is due on Friday of this week for the students working on that part.  Part 2 is due for the other students, and Part 3 for that group, etc.  All 5 parts will need to be completed by the end of March.  Is there any way to put different due dates for these assignments for the different students depending on the Part they are working on each week?  Basically, the student rotate thru all 5 of the assignments eventually.

I hope this makes sense!    Any suggestions would be appreciated!!  Thank you!!

 @schachernp ‌, this can be accomplished pretty easily in Canvas using the differentiated due date feature. The following guide explains how to do this - https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-2642 The only difference is that instead of just assigning it to one individual student, the Instructor would follow the same directions to assign the same assignment to each student, just with a different due date. Does this make sense/help?
