Student preview tool (Ultra)
What is the student preview tool?
The Student Preview tool allows you to view your Learn.UQ course content from a student's perspective. You can also validate course behaviours. For example, you can review the conditional release of content and how grades appear.
Why would I use this tool?
The Student Preview tool can be used to check the presentation of resources, test interactive tools (such as tests) and check what students can view in Gradebook. The Student Preview tool can only be used with (Ultra) Blackboard tools.
Your preview user
After you enable student preview, your preview user appears in the roster for your view. The username is your username appended with _previewuser.
If you teach a course with another instructor, you each can have a preview user account. Your preview user remains in your course until you delete the user from the roster.
As a preview user, all your activities are captured by Blackboard Learn. Your preview user activity isn't included in analytics and course reports. Other students can interact with your preview user.
What could be previewed?
While in student preview, you can do these student activities:
- Submit assignments
- Take tests
- Download and upload files
- Participate in conversations
- Participate in discussions and journals
- Send course messages
- View grades as a student
- Experience group membership
