A Dummy student is created for the Institute by Functional Management-Brightspace at the request of the Key-User. Such an account is used by the Course Administrator and Teacher during development to test whether devised routines work as desired. A maximum of three dummy accounts are created per Institute. The account can only be used from a course for which it has been registered by the Key-user/ ICTO coach.
The account cannot be used to test communication routines (like discussion, email, chat), has no access to group lists.

While a teacher can navigate to and view other courses after starting Imitate, other courses cannot be edited in content. Switching back and forth between teacher view and student view is only possible within your own course. If a teacher (accidentally) goes to another course after imitating and logs off there, he will automatically return to his own course.
