Top Hat: How do instructors view Top Hat questions/courses from the student view?

Issue/Question

  • Is it possible to see how changes I make affect the student view of my Top Hat course?
  • How do I create a Test Student account in Top Hat?
  • What's the best way to log in to a Test Student account in Top Hat?

Environment

  • Oregon State University
    • Instructor
      • Top Hat 

Resolution/Answer

Instructors have the ability to view Top Hat questions from the perspective of a student, in order to confirm that the question is formatted correctly and try out submitting a response as a student would. Find instructions for doing so in this Top Hat support article.

Instructors who wish to see how your overall course appears in the student view must create a Test Student account.  Read instructions in this article on the Top Hat website for creating a Test Student account.  It is recommended that instructors use an incognito window to log in to a Test Student account, so you can remain logged in to your instructor account in a regular browser window.
