Creating dummy student accounts

 

 

Every now and then we want to see what the students see. In order to do this, you can create a 'dummy account'. However, please be advised that this new account will behave as a live student account. 

 

*Do not use a Dummy account for submitting during the “Create” phase as the submissions will be included in the distributions during the “Assess” phase, even if the Dummy student account is removed. 

 

 

1. In the Students dashboard, click on the thee dots displayable menu, and click 'Generate Dummy Students'
