Instructors may encounter situations where they wish to confirm what students are able to see/interact with on their course site. Brightspace offers the ability to achieve this through a tool which allows instructors to view their site from the perspective of different roles, including student, TA, and more.
Activating and Deactivating Different Views
Instructors are able to turn on their student view at any time by clicking on their profile in the top-right of Brightspace.
From there, they have the option to either select View as Student or Change to switch their view to a different role.
To reset back to an instructor, return to the profile and select the X next to Viewing As.
Previewing Assessments
Quizzes, Surveys, and Self-Assessments offer the ability to Preview assessments from the perspective of a student. This can help instructors see how students encounter assessments.
Click the drop-down arrow next to an assessment in Quizzes, Surveys, or Self-Assessments and select Preview. Additionally, Quizzes can be previewed in the quiz editor in the Quizzes Area.
