Differentiation Tags
Differentiation tags are a brand new Canvas function that are now available across Canvas courses. These tags allow you to categorise students within your course without their knowledge, whether that be for differentiating assignments between students, or for identifying students who are eligible for automatic assignment extensions. Importantly, you can also use these tags to Assign To – meaning that you can use tags to grant those extensions, and assign different assignments to different cohorts.
