On the Course Navigation menu, click Settings [1]. Select the Feature Options tab [2] at the top and select the Anonymous Grading feature [3].
By default, all feature states are initially set to Disabled. To turn on any feature, click on the (x) in the State field and select Enabled in the drop-down menu. This will change the (x) to a (✔︎).
With Anonymous Grading enabled, you will now see Student 1, Student 2, etc., instead of student names when using SpeedGrader to grade an assignment, discussion, or quiz,

A SpeedGrader options box opens; check the box to Hide student names in the SpeedGrader.
