Looking for a way to personalize instruction without reorganizing your whole course or creating visible student groups? Differentiation Tags allow instructors to discreetly tag students based on learning needs, preferences, or academic progress — unlocking targeted, individualized content delivery without adding complexity to the student experience.
Here’s what you can do with Differentiation Tags:
- Personalize at scale – Assign specific assignments, quizzes, discussions, or modules to tagged students based on learning needs or goals.
- Support accommodations – Create hidden, non-collaborative groupings to manage modifications or moderations.
- Save time – Deliver the right content to the right learners without duplicating work.
- Stay organized – Use tags to track progress, streamline communication, and even filter the gradebook for moderators.
