Just create fake names for the students in the course, and create separate logins for them separate from their usual Moodle logins, if Moodle is deployed already at the school.

Although if there is something that in itself makes people feel they can bully others on the Internet, it is the ability to be anonymous. I wonder if giving these students the ability to participate in such an anonymous way will just allow them to take out their frustration at being bullied by becoming cyber bullies themselves? I've just seen studies that show that people in real life who are shy often are the opposite on the Internet and vice versa, so I would set this up on a trial basis at first to see if it is of any benefit to the students who participate.

Good luck!
