The View as student feature allows teachers to preview what students' accounts look like. This is a helpful way to ensure that students have been assigned the correct activities or to use as reference if students have any questions.

How can I access the View as student feature?
There are two ways to access the View as student feature.
Access the View as student feature on the My Classes page
First, navigate to the My Classes tab.
Then, click on the name of the class in which the student whose account you would like to view is rostered. Then, click the View as student button above the class roster.
In the pop-up menu that appears, click the View button to the right of the name of the student whose dashboard you would like to see.
Alternatively, you can click the ellipsis button in the Actions column to the far right of a student's name in a class roster and click the View as student option in the pop-up menu to see that student's dashboard.
Access the View as student feature on the Home page
You can also access the View as student feature from the Home page in your Quill account.
First, navigate to the Home tab.
Then, in the Handy actions list located on the upper right side of the Home page, click the View as a student option.
This will bring you to a menu prompting you to choose the student whose dashboard you'd like to view. Click the View button next to the name of the student whose dashboard you'd like to view.
How does the View as student feature work?
Once you have navigated to the student view using any of the above methods, you'll be brought to a preview of that student's dashboard, with a Viewing as a student banner at the top of the page.
While previewing a student's dashboard, you can see the activities they are currently assigned in the To-do activities tab and the activities they have completed in the Completed activities tab.
Tip💡: You will not be able to make any changes to the student's activities or to the student's account while using this feature. If you click on a Resume, Start, or Replay button for an activity while viewing the student's dashboard, you will not be able to make any changes to that activity. Instead, you will see the message below, which allows you to only preview the activity's prompts.
To exit the preview of the student dashboard and return to your dashboard, click the green Exit student account button in the light green banner.
