Blind marking

When Blind marking is enabled, student names will not be shown to the examiner

Description

When Blind marking is enabled, students are anonymized when the Exam is marked. Student names will not be shown in the Submissions tab of an Exam Sitting, in the CSV downloads or in the Response Analytics report. Instead, students will be given a number. e.g. Student 1, Student 2, Student 3 etc.

Note: the student numbers assigned for Blind marking persist i.e., the submission for "Student 6" will remain the same even after a page refresh.
