Brightspace allows teachers to preview the course from the point of view of a student. This enables you to see what students see when they look at your course. Use this tool to check if your course content comes across clearly or to test whether or not you would understand the way grade calculation works, based on the information presented to you as a student in the gradebook for example.
The preview option only gives you an overview of the way students see your course: your own user role can affect what you see in the student display. In this mode it's for example not possible to fill in a quiz or to hand in an assignment.
- In the minibar, click your name and then View as Student (or click Change and choose Student).
- You are now on the Course Home. You can tell by the double-arrow icon that you are now viewing the course as a Student.This also means that the editing tools that you normally have in your regular role are gone.
- Navigate to the course components (Content,Activities,Grades) that you would like to view as a student.
- If you would like to close the View as Student mode, just click on your name again and then click the little 'X'.
