Moodle 2.0
Objective
To allow users to switch into an anonymous mode when using certain activities eg when posting to a forum, so that the user's real identity cannot be ascertained by other non-privileged users.
The anonymity of the activity will depend upon:
- Module settings;
- User profile settings
Scenarios
There are 3 possible scenarios for an activity:
- Teacher sets an activity to run in "Anonymous Mode". Using the example of a forum, all users who post to the forum will do so anonymously;
- Teacher sets an activity to run in "Optional Anonymous Mode". In this scenario moodle will check the user settings to see if they have enabled anonymity;
- Teacher sets an activity as "Not Anonymous".
User Profile
Proposed new settings in a user's profile:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| anonymous_name | text | User can enter an anonymous name they would like to use. This field may be disabled depending on global settings |
