Blackboard Tip of the Month

Student Preview

As an instructor, you want to be confident that your course is well designed and functions as intended—before your students see it. Use student preview to review the course content and validate the course behaviors, such as those that control the availability of course content or require a particular interaction from the student to be triggered.

With student preview, you can experience your course exactly as your students do. While in student preview mode, you can do the following student activities:

• Submit assignments
• Take tests
• Create blog and discussion posts
• Create journal and wiki entries
• View student tools, such as My Grades
