This page will contain information and best practices related to viewing your course site as a student.

Group Settings

A number of tools have the option to set Group settings. You are not able to preview or view the site as a student in a specific group.

If necessary, the best way to verify group settings is

1. Enroll a colleague or TA into the course site as a Student
2. Put them in a specific group
3. Collaborate with that person

Why doesn't View Site As: Student always work?

A number of tools have built in Preview modes and View Modes that allow an instructor to test what a Student would see.

There are a limited amount of scenario's in which it is not possible to see an accurate Student View.
