Arthur
We are currently reviewing this whole process of anonymous marking,
electronic submission etc and undertaking this within Blackboard.
We are still at the stage of trying to ascertain policies and guidelines
and undertaking research to identify any tools which could possibly be
integrated into Blackboard.

Carol,
Thanks for your feedback. We find ourselves in the same situation, ie
anonymous marking is a policy but only truely works with paper formatted
coursework submissons and examinations. We even have an anonymous front
page for all paper format submissions. I do not know if it is widely
used but I suspect that it is.
Blackboard Consulting offered to develop a Buidling Block for us but it
was too expensive.
best,
Arthur

Hi Arthur (et al)
This is still an issue we are struggling with here at Bradford since
our
policies recommend anonymous marking. This is not supported either
when
assignments are submitted directly in BB or when we use Turnitin to
check
submitted assignments. Neither of these two suppliers see this as a
particular requirement or priority so most of our solutions are
work-arounds
and are not consistent across the University.
At Bradford, if electronic submission is requested, students still have
to
hand in a hard-copy. This is still anonymous and can be marked as such.
Work arounds include students submitting to a BB 'organisation' for
their
course and admin staff check the originality reports and flag
submissions
that may merit further investigation; the academic member of staff
looking
at the originality reports after marking or where they suspect
plagiarism.
I would be interested to know how many other institutions have a policy
of
anonymous marking, even if they don't use electronic submission.
Regards
Carol
