Can student names be hidden from teachers

I have set up a quiz for staff within an organisation to take. While HR and management want to know how staff are doing in general, they are afraid that staff will not accept the 'testing' and want the quiz to be anonymous to the manager (teacher role). The staff (student role) do however need to see their own results. Any ideas? I'm using 2.4 but will be moving to 2.5 very soon.

The quiz can't be anonymous.

However, you could edit the teacher role so that teachers cannot review quiz attempts, or access the quiz reports or the gradebook. (They could still see activity completion, etc.)

You might take a look at the feedback module.  It could get you closer to what you need.  You can get an overview of all answers together and students can submit anonymously.  However, there is no grading involved so that might not work.

Hi Emma,

I've said this before and will probably say it again: the Quiz activity on the one hand and the "survey-like" activities: Feedback, Survey (and Survey2) and Questionnaire on the other are totally unrelated activity types although, on the surface, they ask the same type of questions (radio buttons, check boxes, etc.).

In a quiz you want to test the respondent's knowledge, and accordingly their responses are marked/scored/assessed/graded as correct or incorrect. In a survey-like activity, the aim is to gather people's opinions. There is no notion of correctness in surveys.

It is not clear from the OP's post which type of "quiz/survey" is needed in their organization. The sentence "While HR and management want to know how staff are doing in general..." is not clear in that respect.

Let's see what the OP has to say before we suggest the best type of activity for their needs.
