When a lesson package is assigned to different sub-groups in the same class for DI, and a lesson package is assigned to all sub-classes, why can’t I assign different sections of the lesson package to the different sub-groups? The intent is to differentiate the kind of learning for the different sub-groups.

Q: When a lesson package is assigned to different sub-groups in the same class for DI, and a lesson package is assigned to all sub-classes, why can’t I assign different sections of the lesson package to the different sub-groups? The intent is to differentiate the kind of learning for the different sub-groups.

​A: Differentiating instruction within the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS) can be effectively managed by utilizing the platform's features designed for this purpose. Here's how you can assign different sections of a lesson package to various sub-groups within the same class:​

1. Create Subgroups Within Your Class

To tailor learning experiences, begin by organizing your students into subgroups:​learning.moe.edu.sg+1learning.moe.edu.sg+1

• Navigate to the Class Group page and select the desired class.​

• Under the "Admin" tab, click on "New Subgroup".​learning.moe.edu.sg

• Name the subgroup and add students by searching for their names or filtering based on criteria like Form Class or Level.​learning.moe.edu.sg

• Save the subgroup.​learning.moe.edu.sg+2learning.moe.edu.sg+2learning.moe.edu.sg+2

This organization allows you to assign specific modules or sections to targeted groups of students. ​learning.moe.edu.sg

2. Set Differentiated Access to Sections or Activities

Once subgroups are established, you can control access to particular sections or activities:​learning.moe.edu.sg

• Within your module, identify the section or activity you wish to differentiate.​learning.moe.edu.sg

• Access the settings for that section or activity.​

• Specify which subgroups have access by selecting the appropriate options.​

This method ensures that each subgroup engages with content tailored to their learning needs. ​learning.moe.edu.sg

3. Assign Modules to Specific Subgroups

To further customize learning experiences, assign entire modules to particular subgroups:​

• Select the module you intend to assign.​learning.moe.edu.sg+1learning.moe.edu.sg+1

• Choose the "Assign" option.​learning.moe.edu.sg

• Select the subgroups you wish to assign the module to.​learning.moe.edu.sg

This approach allows for the distribution of differentiated content across various student groups. ​learning.moe.edu.sg

4. Utilize Prerequisites for Activities or Sections

To ensure students progress through content as intended:​

• Set prerequisites for specific activities or sections, controlling the sequence in which students access content.​

This feature supports differentiated learning paths within the same module. ​

5. Manage Assignments Effectively

After assigning modules or sections:​

• Monitor and adjust assignments as needed to accommodate the evolving needs of each subgroup.​

This ensures that differentiation remains responsive and effective. ​

By leveraging these SLS features, you can effectively differentiate instruction, providing each subgroup with content that aligns with their specific learning requirements.
