You can also access the work in the Needs Marking area. Please refer to the guide\u00a0Using anonymous marking: Essential advice for the Blackboard assignments\u00a0to avoid common issues and be aware of limitations. Opening assignment attempts From the Full Grade Centre or Assignment The Full Grade Centre or Assignments provides a spreadsheet like view and a column for the assignment is created when the assignment is set up. All details in the column are greyed out, while anonymous marking is enabled, so you cannot see who has submitted or if a mark has been entered. Hover your cursor over the column header for the assignment and click the more options button that appears. Form the drop-down menu that opens select Grade Attempts. &nbsp; From Needs Marking Needs Marking allows you to see all of the assignments you need to mark and filter them. If multiple attempts are allowed, only students\u2019 most recent attempt will be visible in Needs Grading. Under the User Attempt column the student name is replaced with \u2018Anonymous student\u2019 and a unique Attempt ID. To open and mark an individual assignment, click on the Anonymous Student link under User Attempt. To begin marking all of the assignments, hover your cursor over the assignment title under the Item Name column. Click on the Grading actions button that appears beside the title of the assignment and click Grade All Users. Proof of anonymous marking Evidence that an assignment has been marked anonymously is recorded, so that staff and students can verify this has taken place. Staff view You can see if an attempt was marked anonymously by going to the Grade Centre &gt; Full Grade Centre or Assignments. Hover your cursor over the column header for the assignment and click the more options button. From the drop-down menu that opens select View Grade History. A list of the students and their submission attempts are shown. \u2018Graded Anonymously\u2019 is shown in brackets next to the Attempt. To see an individual student\u2019s Grade History, hover your cursor over the cell for the assignment in the row for the student. Click the More Options button that appears and click Grade Details from the drop-down menu. Click Grade History on this page.
