The “View as Learner’ preview function is a quick way for instructors to see how course content is displayed to students, but has limited functionality. For example, you cannot enroll yourself in a group or take a quiz (you can, however, see a student preview of a quiz by choosing the preview option in the Quizzes menu).
To enter Learner view, do the following:
- Click on your name at the top right hand corner of the window.
- Click on View as Learner. You will be taken to the homepage of the course you are viewing.
To exit Learner view, do the following:
- Click on your name at the top right hand corner of the window.
- Then click on the X icon to exit Learner View. You will be taken to the homepage of the course you are viewing.
Tip: Some items in the course navbar (e.g., Classlist, Quick Eval) are only visible to instructors. These items will disappear from the navbar when you enter learner view.
