Enable anonymous submissions

Anonymous submissions enable student assignments to be displayed anonymously as a Participant number rather than by their name. This is a useful way to reduce unconscious bias in grading. Anonymous submissions must be set up prior to any student submissions being made. Once a submission has been received, you can no longer enable anonymous submissions in the assignment settings.

Note: If a student has included their name in their assignment submission, it will still be visible.

  1. For the Assignment that you want to enable blind marking for, click on the three dots the Edit cog, then select Edit settings.

  2. In the Grade section, select Yes for Anonymous submissions. 
  3. Click Save and Display.
