Q. How do I show a piece of information to just one student in my Canvas course?

How do I show a piece of information to just one student in my Canvas course?

Easiest method would be to:

1. create an assignment – not graded, no points, put the information you want the one student to see into the assignment editor. 
2. In the ASSIGN area, Assign to: just that student (remove Everyone)
3. When you save the assignment, you’ll get a warning that you’ve not shared the assignment with the entire section, that’s OK, that’s what you want to do.
4. Now only that one student will see the assignment, and because it’s not graded, it will not show a column in the gradebook for that assignment.
