Revision as of 14:36, 27 November 2012
This page will contain information and best practices related to viewing your course site as a student. In general, the "View Site as: Student" option is simply a view, whereas the "Test Drive" (for example) in Assessments allows you to actually participate as a student. So be aware of the differentiation - view vs. participate.
- 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
- Enroll a colleague or TA into the course site as a Student
- Put them in a specific group
- Collaborate with that person
- Why doesn't View Site As: Student always work?
