I was conducting some testing in our Canvas test environment around the Differentiation Tag feature, in preparation for our institution’s adoption. During this process, I identified several issues, some of which could be blockers, while others repres...

Hi everyone, I was doing some testing in our Canvas test environment around the Differentiation Tag feature and noticed something odd with the student count when filtering and tagging. In one course that had 49 students, I filtered all students and s...

The hard limit of 10 per set and 40 per course limits the utility of Differentiation Tags in larger courses. Use cases such as tutorials with assessment sub-groups; courses with large numbers of markers (e.g. dissertation courses). Why is the number ...

Hi all, I’ve been testing the Differentiation Tags feature. It's a cool feature and I really appreciate how granular the permissions are. However, I’m running into a few challenges and would love some clarification or best practices from others who’v...

Hi all, Will differentiation tags be visible in the Canvas attendance tool like sections are? Thanks! Charlotte

Hi @SamGarza1 .  I am really excited about the potential of differentiation tags.  But from the beginning, something bothered me about the Create Tag modal--as I mentioned in this post, the process of creating a tag set is confusing.  Why do I have t...

We would like to assign differentiation tags to students and then extract the data via the API to coordinate student supports. To do this, we would like to provide all instructors with a consistent set of tags that they can use. Is it possible to cre...

The Import Tags UI under Manage Tags refers to a downloadable "Differentiation Tag Template", but as far as I can tell, such a template doesn't exist. There is a link to documentation that includes sample comma delimited data, but most faculty won't ...

I would like to randomly tag students within a tag set similar to how we can randomly assign students to groups. I currently use groups to break up my large classes so that our discussions are more manageable for students. They've shared with me that...

I previously created a set of differentiation tags for a group of classes using SIS csv file upload. These tags appeared in the classes as expected. I recently reversed action by changing the status for several of these classes so the csv file upload...

There needs to be a view tags permission added. We have users who are making tags based on TAs, and without add/delete/manage enabled for that role, they can't see the tags. Is this something we can get added? We're looking at providing at least one ...

I'm using differentiation tags and they are working great for assignments and quizzes. However, if I create a page and set the access to only allow one specific differentiation tag group, the page is still visible and accessible to all students in th...

I discovered a problem when using a csv to create differentiation tags in a number of classes. After uploading the file, I noticed a typo in one of the tag_id. In my search to figure out how to change the unique identifier, I discovered a few potenti...

I have created several Diff Tag Sets each with multiple Diff Tags and tagged students.  However, how do you delete a Diff Tag from a Diff Tag Set, without deleting the Diff Tag Set itself?

To reproduce: Go to people's page on any course Select Manage Tags Create new tags Use the same name for all the tags you create The system has no mechanism to stop names being duplicates   I logged this with Support and was told this was "inte...

I think there's a lot of potential for this in our larger courses, especially as a way to help randomize dividing/assigning students to TAs in the big, online courses (like a TA is randomly assigned to grade 50 students of the 300 in the course). I c...

When the ability to assign modules and pages to sections and individuals arrived, the need to be able to select at least a section (if not a student) for the viewing sessions to ensure the proper assign-to settings have been made was pretty clear. It...

In both beta and prod, if a student who has tags is concluded, they will still show in the number count for that tag. This screenshot is from Beta using the tag filter (which is great, BTW!)      

I was happy to see the option to import a csv to create & assign tags in the recent deploy notes, however the process may be too technical for teachers. Is it possible to create a workflow similar to the csv Import in the Groups space?  I'm testing i...

  Hi  I am liking this feature, and gather it is early days. I notice we can message to a tag group via Canvas inbox, however it would be great if we could also post to a tag group via discussion or announcement. I wonder if this is up for developmen...

Need to be able to click button to create a tag set based on group set name and then tag variants based on groups in that group set. Automatically tag student with their groupset-group name.  This opens up ability to assign work based on group!This s...

Need to have a screen off of People that shows each student's tags, e.g., have a column for each tag set and the student's assigned tag in each set. Tag Set Columns need to have a sort feature and ways to 'Set Default Tag Value' in each set.  Manage ...

Is there a way to have a module have separate start dates based on the new tags as well as the course at large?  We are attempting to allow specific groups into modules early via the tags (which works great for assignments) but for the module start d...
