The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
I would like to see what my course looks like from the point of view of a specific student. Is this possible?
I'd like to do this because there are some items that are only meant for specific students (e.g. a make-up test for students who missed the test for a valid reason) and I want to verify that everything is in order.
As it is, I have no way seeing whether the assignment I have created is working as it should because it is only assigned to specific students.
I'd love this ability. Our tech person can masquerade as me, but I wish I could do the same for my students when they are experience issues with Canvas (especially during distance learning.)
