Is it possible to set a grading scheme for individual students or groups of students within a class who might need different grading standards than other students?
If not, could this feature be added?
Could you make 2 versions of the assignment, each with a different rubric?
Hello @OregonBG
Thanks for posting this in the global Canvas Community!
I looked into this for a little bit for you. What I found was that you could set up a Grading Scheme for the specific assignment. Essentially, you would select Letter grade as the Display Grade As area of the assignment in edit. From there you can see an option to View Grading Schemes. You would then assign the assignment to the specific students. This should make it so that only the students assigned to the assignment will be graded based on the scheme you select. Of course. you will need to setup a duplicate assignment for the students you are not using the scheme to grade with. This might not be the best option if you are using group assignments and discussions, unless the students you are using the specified scheme with are all in the same group.
HERE is a guide on how that works for assignments.

Other than that, the only other option I could think of would be to move the students to a new course and set the grading scheme up in that course to be used. I was able to locate THIS presented idea that sorta touches on allowing Multiple Grading Schemes to be used for each student.
Hopefully this helps!

Wow, it's been a few years since I've revisited this.
Unfortunately the situation hasn't changed. There still is not a means of having differentiated grading scales for different students (like those on a modified diploma path). Of course you can alter your grading scale, but you can't apply more than one to different students or even sections of students.
I appreciate the ideas above, but in the end these are just work-arounds that end up adding more assignments and cluttering the gradebook.
One possible fix in the developers end would be to allow grading schemes for created sections. Users could then assign groups of students to those sections. Assignments would only appear once and assigned to all sections, but the overall calculation of letter grade would be based on what section they were in.
There seems to be a change in my current rubric that it no longer shows different colours when marked via Speedgrader ie Red for Below Standard, Yellow for At Standard and Green for Above Standard. No it only shows Green across all Ratings. Is this able to be fixed?
We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs. Based on the Instructure FAQ, we understand that only the following fields are transmitted during a sync: Assignment Description Assignment Group Association/Category…
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
