Masquerading as a user (Teacher or Student)

Masquerading as a student- Teachers, you have been asking for a way to see what your students see. Now you can achieve this by masquerading as the student. In the image below, the teacher has signed in from the roster page and is masquerading as Natasha. Read about this process here. 


Masquerading as a teacher or student- Admins, from your accounts, navigate to the appropriate user management menu item and then you can masquerade as the user. Read about this process here. 



How this helps you be more efficient: Understanding a user's perspective facilitates troubleshooting and provides support during the Pathways Learning launch. Specifically, teachers can view what their students see and understand what tasks are available. Administrators can leverage this feature to resolve issues and offer assistance with login and classroom-related inquiries.


Adding questions to Learning Checks is a time saver

When building Learning Checks, you can add the previewed question directly to the question set without losing your place. Read about Learning Checks here.


How this helps you be more efficient: After searching for questions in the bank, you may want to preview the question first. This new enhancement allows you to easily add the question to your question set while previewing it. Before, a user could lose their place and not know what question was previewed.
