Per-student vs per-class accommodation overrides

Learn how EnlightenAI accommodations work at the student and per-class levels, so you can override a student's defaults for one course.

Written by Gautam Thapar

In EnlightenAI, accommodations live at two levels. A student's home language is set once on the student and follows them everywhere, while reading level, translation, and text-to-speech are set per class (per enrollment) — so the same student can have different accommodations in each of your courses.

What is set per student vs per class?

The split is built into how accommodations are stored:

  • Per student (shared everywhere): the student's home language. This is the language used for translated feedback.

  • Per class (per enrollment): reading level (a grade from 1 to 12), translation on/off, and text-to-speech on/off.

Because the per-class settings are tied to each enrollment, changing a student's reading level or translation in one course does not affect that same student in another course.


How do I override a student's accommodations for one course?

Open the course, find the student in your class list, and adjust their accommodations there. Any reading level, translation, or text-to-speech change you make applies only to that course. To set them up differently in another class, repeat the steps inside that course.

One thing to note: home language can only be set once. After it's saved, it can't be changed from the teacher side, and translation requires a home language to be set first.


Which languages are supported for translation?

EnlightenAI supports 7 home languages for translated feedback: Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Haitian Creole, French, and Portuguese.

You can also turn off translation, text-to-speech, or the reading-level override for a single assignment if you don't want those accommodations applied there.
