Rubric Grading

[beth_schlenker]

We have graders for some of our classes and we would like to keep their names anonymous. How can this be done when using a rubric?

@paul_fynn ...

Thank you for posting those links.  I would just like to clarify, though, that @beth_schlenker appears to be asking about how to have multiple people grading assignments in Canvas courses, yet she wants to keep their names anonymous.  The first link you provided does not cover that topic.  The second link partially addresses the topic...but only with annotations in the SpeedGrader.  The first two paragraphs in the light blue box at the top of the second link you provided state the following ( (blue highlighting is my own):

When creating an assignment, you can enable anonymous instructor annotations in DocViewer supported submissions. When students view a submission with anonymous instructor annotations in DocViewer, comments do not display an instructor's name.

This option only affects comments added in DocViewer in the SpeedGrader submission window. Comments added in the Speedgrader sidebar are not anonymous.

Hopefully this will help to clarify how things currently work within SpeedGrader.

Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

Thanks for fleshing that out  Chris_Hofer 

A couple of points that we have encountered;

• If two graders grade the same student via the same rubric on the same day, Canvas appears to keep only one
  • the behaviour isn't exhibited if the marking is done across two days
• we have had issues with anonymity of student names, where the link to the anonymised work is not persistent, i.e. if the gradebook is resorted, the links change, and if a link to anonymised work is shared, the link may not go back to the linked submission - this isn't the behaviour that we were told Canvas would exhibit, and I believe it has been passed back to Canvas so may now have been fixed.
