Enable Student View

Students see the Canvas course site differently than instructors. In Blackboard some faculty had separate Student Accounts that they enrolled into the Blackboard shells to experience the course as a student. This is not necessary in Canvas. In Canvas this can all be done using Student View. You'll find the link to Student View in two places: Home & Settings 

Step-by-Step

  1. From the Navigation Menu, select Home or Settings. 
  2. On the right sidebar menu, click button labeled "Student View."
  3. If you do not have buttons displayed on the right sidebar menu, scroll down to find those buttons underneath main content frame. 

Grades

Want to see Test Student in your Grades tool? You can get a Test Student row to appear in Grades by enabling Student View and then Leaving Student View.
