Using Brightspace Student View

Overview

The Student View in Brightspace gives you an approximation of what a student will see in your course. 

Tips

Before beginning, there are a few things to be aware of:

  • The student view will allow you to practice submitting assignments and Discussions, but previewing quizzes is done through the faculty view.

  • All work that is done in a preview mode is lost when you leave the preview.  Brightspace does not allow you to maintain or grade work when you leave the student view.

  • The Student View and Faculty View have different toolbars and options. For example, Course Tools is not visible to students.

  • The documentation created by Brightspace may not match what faculty and students at SUNY Oswego will see.
