While I have not, as yet, taught an online course, I feel I have learned a great deal about differentiation in the traditional classroom environment. LMS can certainly allow educators to group students based upon skill level as well as pairing up high achieving students with those who need a little extra scaffolding and modeling to become more successful. Using a data sample I found online, seen below, I would use this information in the following ways:
1. The percentage of failing grades is way too high! Differentiation needs to take place here, and the sooner the better!
2. Student K needs some differentiation because either the student isn't signing in regularly or there is some other reason assignments are not being completed.
3. I would differentiate the high achieving students in one of the following ways: allow them to used more advanced online tools to complete projects and assignments or pair them up with some of the lower achieving students in order to attempt scaffolding differentiation.
4. An exhaustive review session looks to be in order, based upon the overall scores for this group of students. It would be important to offer differentiated instruction to match the optimal learning styles of the students.
