Ways to accommodate students in Canvas

At times, you may be asked to provide an accommodation for a student. Common requests might include:

  • Extending a due date.
  • Allowing extra attempts on a quiz.
  • Providing different ways to help understand the material.

Canvas offers built-in options for making these changes.

  • Moderating a quiz - Allows instructors to make adjustments to some quiz settings for the selected students
  • Differentiated assignments  -  This option allows instructors to select individual students in the Assign To section of the assignment settings to give students a different due date and availability period for an assignment OR to assign an assignment to individual selected students.
  • And/Or Module option - This option will allow instructors to create modules where students to choose their own path of assessments
