Anonymous Submissions in the Assignment activity

An example of Anonymous submissions

Overview:

This guide will show you how to implement Anonymous submissions within your Assignment Activity. 

What to know:

The Anonymous submissions tool within the Assignment activity affords the user the ability to institute a feature that provides student anonymity, and impartial reviews and marking of their work.

Click the 'Turn editing on' button on the top right hand corner of your screen, next 'Add an activity or resource' then click on the 'Assignment activity icon'

Add the 'Assignment name' and 'Description' 

Go down to the 'Grade' section on the assignment settings page (if grade settings are not displayed click on the arrow symbol to the left to display). 

Go to the 'Anonymous submissions' drop-down menu and select 'Yes'

Now 'Save and return to course' or 'save changes' button to save the settings.

Now when you view the students within the submission section of the Assignment activity the only information that can be viewed about the participant is an 'Identifier' ID that has been generated for the specific submission.

If at the end of the marking process, you are required to switch off Anonymous submissions this can be done by simply clicking on the 'Grading action' drop-down menu and clicking on 'Reveal student identities' now Anonymous submissions will be switched off.
