Abstract

Discussion systems are a valuable asset in attaining self-regulated learning. Beyond the limitations of on-campus classroom settings, they enable internal feedback, peer feedback as well as external feedback. A motivating factor to continued and frequent utilisation of such systems is anonymity. However, anonymity is a double-edged sword. On one side, it provides strong incentives to use discussion systems, on the other side it invites destructive behaviour such as trolling. Furthermore, strong students are discouraged from continued utilisation if they cannot attribute their contribution to themselves. We propose an initially anonymous discussion system, which enables retroactive de-anonymisation on multiple levels, namely with respect to the identity degree as well as the attribution dimension.
