The default: All learners do all tasks
All tasks are visible to all learners involved in a Module by default. That means all learners will see the task on their Task Board and can engage with it.
What changes between learners is how evidence is submitted:
Individual Evidence — Each learner submits their own work (files, links, reflections, etc.)
Collaborative Evidence — Learners work together and submit evidence as a group
In task descriptions, specify how learners should submit.
Remove Learners from a Task
You can remove specific learners from a task, which means:
Those learners won't see the task on their Task Board
They won't be expected to submit evidence on it
The task is visible only to the learners you've included
This is useful when:
A task is only for advanced learners or struggling learners (not everyone)
A task is specific to one team or group
A learner needs to skip a task due to an accommodation or alternative pathway
Create a variant or remove a learner
Before removing learners from a task, ask: Are the tasks different, or are the learners different?
Use Variants when:
The task is similar, but with different due dates, instructions, or learning targets
You want to customize the task per learner while keeping it grouped with the original
You're differentiating the content or expectations of the task
Remove learners when:
The task simply doesn't apply to certain learners (not a modified version, just not relevant)
You want a task visible to only one individual or one team
You're managing different pathways or learning sequences

Examples
Everyone takes the same quiz (individual evidence): Keep all learners on the task. Each submits their own answers.
The class collaborates on one presentation (collaborative evidence): Keep all learners on the task. One group member submits the final presentation; everyone can contribute.
A task only for students in the advanced track: Remove students not in that track from the task. They'll never see it.
A reading for all learners, but due dates differ by group: Keep all learners on the task, but use Add Variants to adjust due dates per group.
An enrichment task for learners who finish early: Remove learners who need more support. Add them back when they're ready, or create a Variant with scaffolding instead.
