<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none">To
support anonymous course evaluations we will create a new package
based on and dependent on the assessment package, which means that
we are going to use the same tables and procs of the assessment
package.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">In this package we will
create all the UI needed to create , submit and evaluate results.,
most of them based on the assessment UI's.

<UL>
<LI><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">The Assessment
Package allows to set an assessment as anonymous, this feature
works like this: If the assessment is set as anonymous, the subject
associated with the session (generated result) will be the
unregistrated user. In our case, we want to store the user_id but
not show it on the browser. I think that to be able to set an
assessment as an anonymous evaluation ,and not as an anoymous
assessment, we have to add a column to the as_assessment s table or
create one table to map the anonymous evaluations.
