Unlocking Canvas modules for only one student

[claudia_quinter]

I have a student whose current situation is forcing them to either do the entire online course as soon as possible or drop the course. I am willing to do this for this student, but would rather my locking/unlocking schedule stay the same for the rest of the class as this greatly affects my own grading schedule. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Hi @claudia_quinter 

There might be a few ways you could try this. Could you look into duplicating the pages and then assigning these duplicates to the one student - leaving the original course structure and schedule as planned for the class? Or similar, but different, create a section just for the one student and put the content there?

Thanks

Hi Jen, thanks for this, I didn't even consider the duplicate pages option. I think I'll try this and see how it goes!

Hi there @claudia_quinter ,

Have you considered using the 'Assign To' feature for modules / assignments? This allows you to assign a module to a specific student without granting access to the rest of the students until you include 'everyone else' in the assign to. You can then set custom due dates for that student only and keep the same dates for the rest of your class.

How do I assign an assignment to everyone, individual students, differentiated tags, or sections? 

I hope this helps!

This is also a good solution. I did try and assign the module to them, but I got some of the dates mixed up and it ended up locking for everyone else! Perhaps I should get rid of the prerequisites?

I agree with @oneilllj.
