[Modules] Module access to specific groups, sections or students

Idea is currently in development

It would be great if I could give Modules unique gating rules specific to individual students or groups or sections within the course, similar to how I can create unique assignment due dates for different students and sections.

With the growing need for remote learning due to the pandemic, I would die for the option to just have some modules available for certain kids.  My gosh this would be so helpful.

I would like to suggest the option to assign a group of students to a module.  There are times when the content within a module only pertains to a certain group of students. I inquired about this and was told the only way to do this is through an assignment.  There are times when an assignment isn't needed.

Thanks for sharing this idea. As it moves forward for broader discussion, you might also be interested in checking out the related conversation at Unlocking Modules for individual students .

I would like to be able to make modules visible to only some students. As it is, when I have a module that only applies to some students, they get confused about who is supposed to complete the items in the module, even when I assign graded items to only some students.

As an instructor, I would love to have the ability to create modules that are section specific and/or student specific.  This provides yet another level of differentiation for instruction.  Not only do students need assignments focused on specific skills they are working on, but they also need corresponding instruction for those skills.  This applies to all students, whether they are achieving below, at, or above grade level expectations.  Based on what I have found in the Commons, only assignments, quizzes, and discussions can be sent to different sections.  These components are demonstrations of a student's learning, and do not necessarily provide access to differentiated course content.  As a work-around, teachers could use "assignments" for instruction, but this can be overwhelming for many students as they have to scroll through the assignments list; whereas the module feature in Canvas provides a great organizational component.

I agree that it would be wonderful to make a module viewable to only one section or group.

Allow modules to be assigned to certain students and or groups.

It will help to solve my problem (due to top down decision - they cross list all classes of same subject into one course), now I need to have different module viewable to different classes inside.

May I know that status of the feature?
