Creation of Unique Pages for Each Student to Display Individual Information?

[baileypem]

Aside from using assignments set to each individual student, is there any way to create a page that is unique to each student in a course? What I'm aiming to do is create a unique page for each user in the course which will display information specific to the individual, such as ID numbers. Is this possible?

I'm not aware of any way to do this...aside from what you have already stated...by using Assignments to assign to individual students.  But, if you have many students in your course, I could see that this would be quite the process and very time consuming for you to set up.

Maybe some other folks here in the Community will have some ideas for you.  Good luck!

You might be able to use Discussion groups to do this as long as it's okay for the students to see their own pages. You would create a Discussion, make it Group Discussion, and set the number of students per group to 1. This will create single-student Discussions that you can use to communicate one-on-one with each student or just as a place to store data, such as ID numbers or notes or whatever. You (or the student) would have to provide that info, though. I don't know of a way for Canvas to populate that kind of data.

I suppose you could create the Discussion and then just not Publish it, but then you have to do some extra work to figure out which student belongs to each response by clicking into the Reply and finding the assigned student.

No, it's not possible. And, I would be really hesitant to try to figure out a "work around" when you are dealing with student-sensitive information.
