View Course As
View Course As is a function that enables Course Admins to view courses as a specific member or student would.
How do I use View Course As?
To use View Course As, click Course Options under the course photo.
Then, you can select a member from the list and navigate the course from their perspective.
Once you have finished viewing your course as that member, you can either enter in another member's name in the banner at the top of the page or click Back to Course to return to your regular view.
Note: In order to use View Course As, there must be at least one member enrolled in the course. - If you want to View Course As before students have been added as members, you can add a peer or teaching partner to the course and leave as a member (no admin roles).
Can I submit work on students' behalf using the View Course As feature?
Assignments
The Submit button for assignments is not available for instructors using View Course As. View Course As does not enable instructors to submit assignments on behalf of students.
Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive Assignments
View Course As does not work with Google Drive Assignments or OneDrive Assignments. When a student accesses a Google Drive or OneDrive Assignment and clicks My Document, a unique copy of the original Google/OneDrive document is created for the student to edit.
Therefore, if a Course Admin uses the View Course As feature to preview the course and open a Google Drive or OneDrive Assignment, the assignment will display as the Course Admin normally sees the assignment from their own view (including the In Progress and Submissions tabs). Attempts to click the document link from within the assignment will result in a "Private Access Only" message and exit View Course As.
Test/Quizzes and Assessments
You are not able to Resume or Start New Attempt for test/quizzes and assessments while using View Course As. As such, neither are you able to submit test/quizzes and assessments for students from this view.
