Using Oncourse Assignments, can I view how an assignment will look to course or project participants?
Note: This information applies to the original Assignments tool in Oncourse, which is no longer available to add to sites; however, you can continue to use it in sites that had it before June 3, 2011. For new sites, use Assignments 2.
Note: To complete these procedures, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. To view a list of permissions associated with a given role, see Permissions, roles, and tools. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.
You can view how an assignment you created will look to participants who access it. To see your assignment in student view before or after it's been posted:
Before posting
- Create an assignment or select an existing assignment to
revise. For instructions, see Adding, editing, or removing an assignment.
- Click
Preview.
- Click the black triangle next to "Student View".
After posting
- From the menubar, click
Assignments.
- Click
Student View. This will show you the assignment list as it appears to students or other site participants.
- To work through an assignment and submit it as a
student would, click
Submit as Studentbeneath the assignment.
- To leave student view and return to the assignment list, click
Assignment List.
