Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, it to join forces with other budding developers to create “The Masked Grader”, a modern, anonymous grading platform that promotes more egalitarian grading outcomes for Students and Course Instructors.

What’s is the Masked Grader?
As a student, have you ever received a grade that you thought was unjustified, unfair or biased? Well, what if there a way for you to submit your work for a grade while masking your personal identity on the part of the grader. That’s where “The Masked Grader” comes in. The way that it works is simple:

- Instructor creates exam and exam questions
- Instructor sends the exam to students to complete the exam online through the authenticated front-end interface
- Students complete the exam and submit for grading
- Instructor receives all student exams in a single batch with a randomized identifier associated with each exam (thereby ‘masking’ the identity of the student who submitted the exam)
- Instructor assigns a grade to all exams
- System retains all exam results until the Instructor has completed the grading process(thereby preventing the instructors/students from triangulating identity based on submission time)
- System distributed grades to students in batch after the instructor has completed the grading process.
- System ‘unmasks’ the student identity to the instructor after grades have been distributed to the student body
