Changing to Student View

Student view allows you to see the course as your students will experience it.

Student view activates a Test Student who can submit activities as an enrolled student.

Some more information about Student View:

  • Test Student is automatically enrolled in your gradebook
  • Use it to be sure your course is just the way you want/need it 
  • Double check that everything is published and available
  • Participate in your course as Test Student to verify Canvas functionality
  • Submit work as Test Student to have student submissions to test Canvas grading options

Reset Test Student when you need to clear out data and start over
