We have had numerous faculty attempt to utilize blind grading within Canvas and they have been disappointed by the Hide Student Names feature in the Gradebook (Grades in left nav.). While Canvas currently supports hiding student names in the Gradebook, the feature is not persistent. If you reload the page or navigate to a different page and return to the Gradebook, student names will reappear and compromise the anonymity of students.
Our Proposal:
Unify the Hide Student Names feature in the Speedgrader with the Hide Student names feature in the Gradebook
