Brightspace Quick Tips

Posted by Stephanie Rogers on February 25, 2016 in News

Use the “View as a Student” function in your profile to check the course from a student perspective.

If you are using “draft” mode or selective release on any content within your course, it is good practice to use the “View as a Student” function to make sure what you think students are seeing is correct. To access, use the dropdown next to your name in the top right hand corner. Click on View as a Student. Don’t forget to switch back to instructor mode when you are done.

Note: The View as a Student mode does not work for assessment tools. If you want to test assessment tools as a student, you will need to have a student account created and added to your course.

The Brightspace User Interface Legend (https://edtechtruro.edublogs.org/2015/09/01/brightspace-user-interface-legend/ ) will help you find your profile.
