While you are creating your course you can easily preview your course or take it as a student. Select the desired option from the "Preview" drop-down menu while editing a course. The course will open in a different tab so that you can continue to work on your course.
TAKE AS A STUDENT
You may view the content and enter responses in the student view. Your interaction with a course will not be displayed on the Activity Feed, but your response will be saved to the response dashboard.
PREVIEW COURSE
In the "Preview Course" mode, your response will not be saved/displayed anywhere.
