Note: The instructions below apply to a Moodle assignment only, not Turnitin. For guidance on Turnitin see: How do I reveal student identities without releasing marks to students in Turnitin

This is a two step process described below. First, in the Assignment settings make sure the default setting for “Notify students” is set to No. Second, hide the assignment dropbox before you start marking.

Did you know? As an alternative to the steps below you can set up a Moodle assignment to use Marking workflow. With marking workflow, marks and grades go through a series of workflow stages before being released to students.
