Anonymous grading

Instructors need a way to ensure the anonymity of students (hiding personally identifying information) to avoid bias when grading. Some regions mandate anonymity for high-stakes assessment.

To support this, we developed an enforceable means to anonymize student information to instructors and other reviewers. After grading is complete, the information can be revealed. Student identities remain hidden until all grades are posted, at which point names are revealed.

The Gradebook page is open and the anonymous grading process is displayed. The step-by-step shows how the instructor can access the rubric, open student files, annotate inline, and assign a grade and feedback.
