Student View Tool


Before the start of Semester 1 the Student View tool was removed from the Hub as it was identified that the tool only worked with areas that were currently available to students. Once the semester started the tool was turned on again, with the caveat that it would not work with Semester 2 modules until they became available to students in January.

 

After consulting with the Building Block developers we have been able to put a fix in place, which now allows the Student View tool to work with Semester 2 modules. Unfortunately, the fix has meant that the Control Panel will appear when the Student View is active. This is more of a cosmetic change due to the way roles are checked within the Blackboard system.  Staff should note that the control panel in this instance has very few items available and those which are, are highly restricted.

With the exception of the control panel (which students never see), the tool mirrors the standard student role exactly and provides exactly the same level of interaction, including being able to complete tests and assignments.
