Summary
Often it is useful to be able to view your course as a student and make sure everything functions as expected. If you’re just wanting to have a quick look you can follow the instructions below, but if you’re wanting to test assignment submission and grading we recommend talking to an eLearning Facilitator about setting up a demo student account to use with the instructions.
How to log in as a student
This functionality isn’t available to all user roles – you may need to ask someone with a higher role than you.
- Login to Moodle and navigate to your course.
- From the navigation bar, click Participants. Ensure Enrolled users is selected in the dropdown box at the top of this page.
- Find a local student and click on their profile image (if you have a demo student account click on it’s profile image instead).
- From the Administration section click Log in as – this means you effectively become the student.
- Across the top of the screen is a banner reminding you who you’re logged in as – make sure you click Log out when you’re finished.
