User

  • Canvas Instructor

Environment

  • 10185: Canvas
    • Gradebook

Rationale

  • You can view a course the same way that your students view your course through Student View. Enabling Student View creates a Test Student in your course. You can activate Student View on the home page in your Course Settings
  • Once you activate Student View, Test Student is automatically added to every section in your course and appears at the end of the Gradebook. If you want to remove the test student completely, you will have to remove the test student from your section enrollments
