2. A clearer picture of what your students see

We have improved preview functionality to allow students to see your courses from the perspective of your students. There are three ways for how you can view the course from a student's perspective:

3. New Quiz & Survey Reporting by Student

Numerous creators select specifically to use our assessment tools, like Quizzes, Assignments and Surveys. But, up until recently, it was difficult to track down all those assessments for a single student.
