How do I turn on anonymous grading for writing activities?

Modified on Mon, 28 Sep at 10:54 AM

Anonymous grading hides learner names from instructors while grading writing activities, helping reduce potential grading bias.


Note: Turning on anonymous grading is designed to persist for the logged-in instructor, but there may be instances when the instructor needs to turn it on again (e.g., after the browser cache is cleared).

Instructor View (LMS)

  1. Navigate to the course page with the writing activity that needs to be graded anonymously. Select the Turn On Anonymous Grading button.
