Unit 2: Review your course using the Student View

Student View

Instructions: 

When you are building a new Canvas course, or updating an existing one, it is important to keep your students in mind in terms of how they will access and navigate your course. Ask yourself:

  • Will my students know where to go and what to do when they first login to the course?
  • Will my students be able to access my syllabus?
  • How will students know where to find materials and assignments?

To make this easier, you can view your course as a student in Canvas, either via the Student View feature in Settings, or by adding a fake student (Fred Flintstone) to your course and logging in to Canvas as Fred.
