Mock or sample student accounts, allow instructors to view the courseware from a student’s perspective. One important aspect of this perspective is to view how learning objects report data to the gradebook. There are two steps to setting up an account. The first is registering a mock student and the second is to enroll that student into your course.


You can use a secondary personal email address if you are interested in viewing forum posts, and other items that would be emailed to students during the courses. Otherwise, it may be a better option to use a New Language Solutions domain, fakemail.ca, for a Fake email address.
