How to View a Course as a Student

Method 1: Log in as a specific student - See exactly what one student sees, including their progress and submissions

Method 2: Use student mode in the course - Quick preview of the general student experience without logging in as someone

This method lets you view the course exactly as a specific student would see it, including their individual progress.

Step 1: Go to Your Home Page

Step 2: Access the Users Tab

Hover over the "Users" tab in the left-hand toolbar and click on "Learners"

Step 3: Select the Student

Click on the name of the student you wish to view as.

Step 4: Log In As User

Click on the "log in as user" button found near the bottom right side of the screen.

Step 5: Choose Your View Mode

Select either:

"Update mode" - Log in using update mode, which updates the login and completion histories
"Stealth mode" - Log in using stealth mode, which does NOT update the login or completion histories

Choose the description that best fits your needs.

Step 6: You're Now Logged In

You're now viewing the course as that student. To return to your instructor account, click logout in the top right corner.

Important: Remember to log out to return to your own account when finished.
