Completely Anonymous Grading, Persistently Blind Grading

[healyeb]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

We would like to have the ability to have graders use Speedgrader and the grade book without seeing who the students are. The  teacher of record would be able to see this but we would like the ability to be flexible in either allowing graders to see student names or not.

Ellen:

This is a great idea; and in fact, there is a similar idea open for voting right now @Hide Names of Graders (aka Anonymous graders) | Canvas Community

Please check this one out, and if it meets what you are looking for, add your comments and your vote. If this is not what your are looking for, please let us know.

Thank you for taking the time to submit this feature idea.  I'll go ahead and archive it for now and also suggest that you go vote for the idea that Kelley linked to.  If you believe the idea you submitted is materially different than the pre-existing idea, please let us know.

Thanks,

Scott

Hello Scott

I think that this feature request is so that students do not see who is

grading them. If possible I need a feature request that would not show the

students names in the grade book to the graders. Perhaps there could be 2

types of graders, one anonymous where the students names never show up and

one where they do...

Let me know what you think.

thanks

#Ellen:

I am sorry, that was my mistake.

I did find another idea, archived on January 6, 2016 that might be closer to what you want: @

I hope this helps, and again my apologies for the confusion.

I think what will happen is one of those awesome Community Managers will come along and tell you that your idea will open in the next voting period, since we don't actually re-open archived ideas. What I would do is provide a link to the archived idea in yours, and ask folks to review the comments there to help them decide to vote.

Hi Ellen,

I also apologize for the confusion here.

To clarify; in the scenario you envision would it be important whether or not the graders could choose to grade w/o seeing student names in the speedgrader or would it be important that they never have the ability to see student names associated with submitted work?  I'm wondering about a grade anonymous students option in the Speedgrader vs a quality of their role in the course that would limit them from ever seeing student names in association with submissions?

Hello Scott,

thank you for your email. We have a number of departments going through

assessments for accreditation and it is important to them that they not see

who they are grading so there is no bias. The process reviews how graders

which can include teachers are grading to see that it is equal across the

board. Does this make sense?

Thanks!
