The anonymized assignments feature allows you to set up a Drop Box so that it randomizes the file names of uploaded student assignments, thereby making them anonymous. Student names will no longer appear in the filename when downloaded. Instead, a string of characters used as a unique identifier will replace the names.
This feature should be used by faculty who have TAs grade submitted assignments but do not want TAs to see the individual student names. It's important to note that while this feature, when enabled, will anonymize the file names, TAs will have access to the key which lists each file name and the corresponding student name if needed. Additionally, if students put personally identifying information into the assignments that they submit, the TA will know whose document it is. The Drop Box tool does not remove occurrences of the student's name inside the documents that are submitted.
