Hiding your name on discussion boards
For teachersLast reviewed September 25, 2026
Everyone in your course can read the reflections you post on its discussion boards, and your full name shows on your posts unless you set a nickname. Your certificates still use your real name.
- Click My Account in the left menu.
- On the About tab, type a nickname in Discussion Board Post Alternative Nickname.
- Click Update User.
Your nickname replaces your name on every post in all your courses, including posts you made before you set it.
