Admin/Sub Admin - How to Add Assignment Accommodations / Modifications to Student Groups [Edcite Schools Feature]
For information on Creating a Student Group in an admin account and adding students, see this document. This help document is focused on how an administrator can add modifications and accommodations to a group of students.
Note - this setting will take precedence over all other settings in Edcite. For example - if a student group is given Text-To-Speech access, but a given assignment has Text-To-Speech disabled - students in the group will have Text-To-Speech.
Sign into an admin account or sub admin account with access to the student group(s) you want to add modifications or accommodations to.
On the navigation bar, click Rosters → District Students
On the left side, find the Student Group name and click it to select the correct student group. Currently, you can only add modifications / accommodations to one student group at a time.
Click Group Options → Add Group Settings
