How Does the "Student View" Work in Canvas?

When you click View as Student in Canvas, it’s designed to show you how your Activity will appear to students. However, when previewing a Classwork.com Assignment this way, you may notice that:

  • The Submit button says Get My Score instead.

  • A banner appears across the top of the Activity indicating that you’re viewing a Teacher Preview.


That’s completely normal! You’re seeing a preview mode that allows you to test the Activity and ensure it behaves exactly as intended before assigning it to students.


Your students will see the Submit button and only the tools and options you selected when creating the Assignment.
