Info

About Student Preview

The Student Preview user will appear in the course roster and in the course gradebook. It is easily identified by the purple avatar. Both its name and username will be the same as yours, but appended with _previewuser

As a preview user, all the data associated with your activities are captured by Blackboard including submitted assignments and discussion posts. Other students can interact with your preview user; for example, they can reply to your posts as though you were another student enrolled in the course.
