How do I use Student View?

After you press Student View, you will be brought to your course's home page and you will be able to navigate through your course, seeing only what students will see. When you are done, press "Leave Student View" at the bottom of your page. You can also choose to "Reset Student" which will clear all history for the student and allow you to start student view again with a clean slate.
