Protect your anonymity
Steps to take to protect your identity when submitting assignments in Blackboard.
Recommendations
- Do not include your name in file names or in the document itself.
- For Word and other Office documents, delete your name from the file’s properties, before you save.
Deleting your name from file's Properties
- Select Properties from the file menu.
- Select the Summary tab from the Properties controls.
- Enter some text, for example 'Anonymous' or your student number in the Author field, and any other fields which might indicate your identity.
In some versions of Word, it is not possible to prevent your name being saved as the last person to save the file. We still advise you make sure your name does not appear as author.
