Viewing Your Brightspace Course in Learner View

The View as function in Brightspace allows Instructors, TAs, Course Builders and Graders to experience their course as a learner (or other role) would. 

When viewing as a Learner, for example, you can see how your course functions for students, what is hidden, etc. 

Note: Quizzes and Groups do not work in View as Learner. However, you can use preview a quiz to see how a quiz works for students.
