How can I see what my students see in Talon?
There are generally two approaches to viewing as a student: 1. Student View with Role Switch 2. Impersonate your Instructor Test Student. The Student View with Role Switch option will allow you to see most of what the student sees, but won't let you experience the course as a student. This is a good option when you want to check if visibility settings are correct. But this mode won't help if you want to take a quiz as a student or see the grades tool as a student would. For that kind of view, the impersonation route will provide a more complete student experience of the course.
Note: In the Grades > Enter Grades page, click the action menu after the student's name to choose "Preview" -- this will open a new window with a view of what the student sees when they click on their Grades tab in Talon.
