How do I allow students to create anonymous course discussions?
You can allow students to create anonymous course discussions from the Discussions page.
Notes:
- If a student creates a discussion that includes a file, the file will be added to the unfiled folder in course files.
- If there are no discussion submissions, you can edit the anonymity details.
