Student Preview

Student Preview lets you view your module from a student’s perspective. It is particularly useful for testing interactive features (Assignments, Tests, Discussions) and verifying item availability.

Entering student preview adds a test student to your module. You can use this test student to post to discussions, experience the module site content and submit attempts as a student.
