This article is for instructors who wish to learn about the various options for student view in HuskyCT.
Instructors building a course in HuskyCT often want to see their site as the students will. There are two options for accomplishing this. One is a “true” student view and other is not. Both can be used before the course becomes available to students.
"Edit Mode Off" Student View
This is not a “true student view” because instructors will still see their Control Panel, which is never visible to students.
To build on your site, Edit Mode must be “ON.”
When Edit Mode is “OFF,” any folders, links, files, etc. that show as “hidden” or “not available” when Edit Mode is ON will not be visible.
Student Preview
Access the Student Preview mode by clicking on this symbol at the upper right-hand corner of your screen when on your HuskyCT site.
An orange bar at the top of the screen will indicate when Student Preview mode is ON. While in Student Preview mode, you can take tests, submit assignments and post to a discussion. The name of the Preview Student will be your last name with _PreviewUser added to it
To exit Student Preview mode, click Exit Preview at the right-hand end of the orange bar.
You will have the option to delete any data generated while in Student Preview mode and remove the Preview User (default setting) or to keep the Preview User and any data generated (e.g., test results, assignments, grades).
For more information about Student Preview, please visit Blackboard’s help page.
