Instructors can grade assignment and test attempts while information identifying the student remains concealed. Only after the grade for the attempt has been submitted will the identity of the student be exposed. This feature is accessed through the column contextual menu (the double down arrow next to the column title) in the Grade Center. It also can be activated when grading attempts. When grading anonymously, all identifying information is hidden and assessment attempts appear in random order. Each student is assigned a number, such as Student 8.
