Student Preview
Once a setting has been selected, it is critical that faculty use the Student Preview option to verify that the settings are indeed what they expect their students to see.
1. Access Student Preview:
- Use these instruction to access Student Preview
-
Instructors can enter "Student Preview" within any course to see assignments, tests, and other content as a student would see it. The "Student Preview" button is a circular icon, which resembles the shape of an eye, located near the "Edit Mode" button at the top-right corner of the course screen. Upon clicking the "Student Preview" button, instructors can explore the course as a student.
A bar will appear at the top of the screen when you are in "Student Preview." By clicking the Exit Preview button in the right corner of this bar, instructors can exit the preview.At this point, instructors will be prompted to either keep student preview data in the course (recommended for viewing/testing assignment submissions and My Grades), or delete the preview data (recommended if instructors do not want to see any saved data, such as a test submission).
If instructors choose to keep student preview data, it will be saved in the Grade Center as the instructor's LastName_PreviewUser. Ex: Smith_PreviewUser. This data can be removed later by entering student preview again, clicking the Settings button in the yellow/orange preview bar, and choosing to delete the data.

2. Take the test/quiz. View the results from "My Grades."
3. Click the Exit Preview button. If the results are what you expect, select the "Delete the preview user and all data."
If you wish to adjust the settings, select the "Keep the preview user and all data." This setting will keep the test attempt. When you adjust the setting, you will return to the Student Preview mode and view the results from the "My Grades."
