Post topics and responses anonymously, making it impossible for other students to identify the author. Instructors and site owners can still view the author's ID, regardless of the posting setting.

Go to the Conversations tool.

Select the Conversations tool from the Tool Menu of your site. 

Click Create new topic.

Author the topic.

  • activate Anonymous Posts to allow anonymous responses to your topic.

Click Publish.

Verify the topic.

The author information displays students as Anonymous.
