Moodle: View site as a student

If at any time you wish to see the course the way a student or other participant sees it, you have the option to switch your role.

Before you start, you may need the following:

  • an Instructor of Record or Other Editing Teacher role in a Bryn Mawr Moodle course.
  1. Click on your name to access the drop-down menu. Select  “Switch role to…“ to see a list of roles that you may select (See this post on Moodle: Enroll or unenroll participants for a list of roles and their meanings in Moodle). Please note that this only works inside a course page and is not available on the Dashboard.
  2. Once you select a different role, you may view your course this way, but it won’t let you participate in activities as if you were a student (e.g. take a quiz, submit an assignment, etc.).
  3. When you’re ready to switch back to your regular role, just click on your name again and choose “Return to my normal role“.
