- Student View lets you experience your course the way that your students do.
- You will see only what you, as the instructor, allow your students to see.
Notes:
- Each Canvas course has a separate Test Student account. Whenever you move to a new course you will need to enable Student View for that course.
- Submissions and scores for the Test Student do not affect course analytics.
- Student View should not be used to test MasteryPaths in the beta or test environment.
- New Quizzes assessments should be previewed in New Quizzes and not taken as the test student. Test Student attempts cannot be reset and will affect analysis reports.
