Click on the title field of the column you’d like to hide 1 , then select “edit” 2;
Turnitin: Once you select “Edit”, a panel will appear on the Right-hand side. In the first field ‘visible to students’ is selected, click on the drop-down and select ‘hidden from students’ 3
Blackboard Assignment: Once you select “Edit”, a new panel will appear. On the top right, click on the drop-down and select ‘hidden from students’ 3
