Testing Your Course

|
The way your course looks in Studio is not the way students see and experience your course.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, as and after you develop course content, you must view and test your course from a students' point of view.
|
|
|
|
From within Studio, you can test your course in two ways:
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`Preview Your Course`
|
|
* :ref:`View Your Live Course`
|
|
|
|
.. _Preview Your Course:
|
|
|
|
***********************
|
|
Preview Your Course
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
When you view your course through Preview mode, you see all the
|
|
Units of your course, regardless of whether they are set to Public or
|
|
Private and regardless of whether the release dates have passed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using Preview mode is the only way to see content that is set to Private
|
|
**as a student would see it.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can enter Preview mode in two ways.
|
|
|
|
* On any subsection page, click **Preview Drafts**.

The following example shows the **Preview** button for a unit that
|
|
is set to Public.

.. _View Your Live Course:
|
|
|
|
***********************
|
|
View Your Live Course
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
When you view your course as an staff member (that is, using the same account you use to build the course in Studio),
|
|
you see all the units of your course that are set to **Public**, regardless of the release dates of the containing section or subsection.
|
|
|
|
You do not see units that are set to **Private**. To see Private units, you must use Preview mode as described above.
|
|
|
|
You can view the live course from three different places in Studio:
|
|
|
|
* The **Course Outline** page.
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
* Any Subsection page.
|
|
|
|

|
|
:width: 800
|
|
|
|
* The Unit page, if the Unit is Public.
