Impersonate a Demo Student

Each course is created with a unique Demo Student in the Classlist. The Impersonate option allows you to view the course just as a student would. You can take quizzes, check open dates, populate the gradebook to check things out and so on. When you are done, click on your name in the top right corner of the page and click the X to restore yourself back to your own role.
