Accommodations for students

[MaghenSimmons]

There is not a way to assign/provide the accommodations a special education student is required to have according to his/her Individualized Education Plan. The Mastery platform provides the option to assign an assortment of accommodations that an IEP may require, such as the read aloud accommodation. The special education students are at a great disadvantage in the Canvas platform assignments, quizzes, discussions, and modules.

Hi @MaghenSimmons,

Canvas does allow for most special education / IEP accommodations but they may not be obvious or require some sort of workaround.

For examples, please see the guides below for "Classic Quizzes" and "New Quizzes":

• Classic Quizzes: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/Once-I-publish-a-quiz-how-do-I-use-the-Moderate-...
• New Quizzes: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Moderate-page-in-New-Quizzes/ta...

For assignments or discussions, can you provide an example of an accommodation that you are trying to meet?

We have a teacher who is trying to provide extended time accommodations to his students with IEPs on their assignments in Canvas and keep the regular time for his non-IEP students. When he tries, the get the message "This assignment cannot be synced because it has student overrides and other due dates set"
