DLE Weekly Update: Test Student Account

Posted on Friday, June 10th, 2022

Have you ever wondered how your students see your courses’ content and activities?

The “View as Learner” will not display your course exactly as a student will see it. The workaround is to Add a Test Student account to your courses and impersonate this student to experience your course exactly as a student will see it. You can complete quizzes and submit assignments as a student, then exit the impersonation to view the results as the instructor.

As many other instructors are using this test student, please be aware of the fact that, once you enrol it in your course, any instructor that will impersonate the test student will be able to view your course content as a learner. It is recommended to unenrol the Test Student from your course once your testing is complete. Instructions on how to unenrol a user from your course can be found in this article

Important: Please make sure that you are using the “teststudent” role when adding this account to your courses. If you use any other role (for instance, learner or observer) you AND the rest of the instructors will not be able to impersonate this account.
