This article is for Faculty who need to view and understand how their students will experience their Home Pages in Canvas. Initiating Student View on the Home Page allows faculty to view their Home Page as a Test Student.
1. Selecting Student View on the Home Page
1.1. Observe Your Homepage as a Faculty Member
Faculty are able to see: (1) all course navigation links, (2) seven buttons for course management in the upper right-hand corner, and (3) a To Do list with student submissions for faculty to grade.
Looking at the screenshot above in faculty view, note that students will not ever be able to see the following course navigation links : Item Banks, Attendance, New Analytics, Respondus Lockdown Browser, Ally Course Accessibility Report, Rubrics, Outcomes, and Settings. Read Customizing Your Course Navigation Links to learn how to organize and enable/disable course navigation links in your Canvas courses.
1.2. Select the Student View Button in the Upper Right Corner
1.3. Observe Your Home Page in Student View
In Student View, Faculty are able to see: (1) only course navigation links made available for students, (2) three buttons to view course information in the upper right-hand corner, and (3) a To Do list with upcoming assignments, discussions, and quizzes for students to complete for credit.
Note that for Faculty teaching asynchronous courses in Canvas who want to fully utilize releasing course content on a weekly schedule via Modules, Faculty can remove (3)To Do list items by removing Due dates from assignments and only include From and Until dates. Read Bulk Update Due Dates and Availability in Canvas' Assignments Tab to learn how to edit all your assessments' from and until dates from one screen.
Note in the above screenshot in Student View mode, faculty will see a purple perimeter and bar at the bottom of the screen. Select the Leave Student View button in the lower right corner to exit student view.
