Student View allows you to see the course as a student views it and create a Test Student for your course. You can use Student View to see how your students view assignments, discussions, quizzes, and other areas of Canvas. Please note that Student View does not differentiate between published and unpublished content in the instructor view and should not be used as an accurate portrayal of the content currently available to students.

There is a separate Test Student account for each course in Canvas. Whenever you move to a new course you will need to enable Student View for that course.

Note: Submissions and scores for the Test Student do not affect course analytics.

To see the student's perspective on Canvas, use Student View to:

View the course

Post and reply to Discussions

Submit Assignments

View Grades

View People

View Pages

View the Syllabus

View Quizzes

View the Calendar

View the Scheduler (if enabled)

Conferences, Conversations, Collaborations, Differentiated Assignments, Groups, Peer Reviews, and Profile do not work for the Test Student. You will see only what you, as the instructor, allow your students to see.

Note: You can only view the course layout as it is seen by your students. You cannot view student-specific information, such as conversations between students.

Reset Student View

Student View also allows you to reset the history for the test student to confirm content in the course. For example, if you created an assignment and submitted it as the Test Student but then forgot to add a certain submission type, you can click the Reset Student button and submit the assignment again as the Test Student.
