Impersonating a Student (i.e., Logging Into a Student's Account)

Impersonating a Student (i.e., Logging Into a Student's Account)

In this article, we explain how you can use the Impersonate User feature to "log in" as a student. This feature helps instructors learn the software by allowing them to experience the software from the perspective of other users. An instructor with Location Manager Permissions can use the impersonate feature to log in as an individual student or a student who is a member of a class.This feature is handy for helping instructors learn how the software works from the student's perspective. 

NOTE: The Impersonate User feature has eliminated the need for instructors to remember a second, unique email and password in order to access their Practice Student Accounts.  

How to Impersonate a Practice Student

1. Log into your Instructor Account.

2. Click "Students"



3. Use the search, filter, and sort features to locate the student you wish to log in as.



4. Click the "Action" Icon (3 dots) to show the dropdown menu. Then, select "Impersonate."


As soon as you click "Impersonate," myPREPcourse will open a new tab in your web browser.
There, you'll already be logged in as the student (i.e., impersonating the user).

5. In the new browser window that opens, you'll see exactly what your student sees when they log into their account.

IMPORTANT: You can navigate through the student's entire account doing everything from completing lessons to watching video solutions. Be advised, however, that the actions you take while logged in as your student will not reset when you log out. Any work you complete on behalf of your student will remain completed, for example.
