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.

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.
