This would be great to be able to mirror all the functions of sections without affecting the SIS integration. Announcements to specific tagged groups are on the top of the list we get for why sections are requested in a course.
I am assuming the difficulty in coding is due to announcements displaying the section the announcement is meant for, while a tag needs to remain anonymous. Is the ability to send announcements by a tag a feature on the roadmap so we can increase our specific interactions with students as needed?
I agree with the above comments. Differentiation Tags mirroring section functionality would be amazing. Please work on this feature. I'd love to see Differentiation Tags as an "assign to" option in Announcements!
Our teachers and administrators are asking for the ability to use tag groups in announcements. I hope you move forward with the plans to make it possible to target announcements to specific groups. In courses with large student cohorts, both teachers and administrators want to be able to communicate with different student groups. In these cases, they prefer using Announcements over Inbox, since all teachers can then see what has been communicated to students and when — unlike when an individual teacher sends a message.
