Add the "test student" to a group

(8)

As a teacher, I want to add the test student, from "Student view", in a group so that I can see the group from the student view perspective.

Yes! I want to do this, too, because there appear to be some glitches with the ability to allow replies on student-created in-group Announcements, but I need to play with the tools as a Test Student before I can formulate a question about it.

YES, this is very important. I try out all the course contents that I publish through the Student view, and it feels awkward not being able to view groups from this perspective.

Yes, this would be very helpful.

Yes, this is a crucial tool to have.  I need to be able to know how a group assignment looks from a student's perspective - how a student knows which group they are in, how they know what day they are assigned something based on a group assignment - these are just two examples.

YES, I agree. I cannot work out what my students see. Please make this possible!

it is so silly to not have the ability to see group assignments and other things in through the test student view. Almost all of the work in our course is done in groups! Compass/bb had this feature for many years and I definitely miss it with this forced migration to Canvas.
