[ARCHIVED] How to Make a Discussion Anonymous

[sarajdenne]

How do I create a discussion board anonymously?  I am creating this course for other instructors and seeing my name and photo is confusing. Thanks for help with this

Greetings  @sarajdenne  Welcome to the Community! I think you'll find the answer in this related question, Option to disable avatars showing on discussion? (For non-instructor course builders). The short answer is that the simplest way to do this is to create the discussions in another course, sometimese called a "sandbox" course and import those discussions into the desired academic course.

Hello - We have students posting items to our Discussion Board, and they wish to remain anonymous. I don't see a setting that allows me to make all the Discussions postings anonymous. Is there a way to do this?
