Canvas Tip of the Week (22 July 2019)

Student View

Want to see what your students see?

To see the student’s perspective in Canvas, you can use the “Student View” to view the course, quizzes, discussion boards, etc., as a student. Enabling “Student View” creates a test student within your course, which enables faculty to complete tests, submit an assignment and review these submissions in the Grade Book

Note: Attendance, conferences, conversations, collaborations, differentiated assignments, external apps, groups, peer reviews, and profiles do not work for the Test Student view. You will only see what has been published for students.

To access student view:

1. Log into your Canvas course.
2. Select “Settings” from your lefthand Course Navigation.
3. Select “Student View” on the right sidebar.

Learn more about how to preview your course in “Student View” from the Canvas Instructor Guide located here.

If you have questions, feel free to contact Jim O’Connor or myself.

As a reminder, you can access TUC and TUN specific resources at the Center for Innovative Learning and Teaching website at:
