The Student View option in Canvas is not compatible with the reading list software and it cannot provide you with a preview of what your students will see.
The list is embedded into Canvas and connects to the software each time you click on it, instead of being an actual Canvas page or item.
If you try to use the 'student view' option this is the error message it will probably display:
This is because only students can see the list in 'student view' - when you click it, the system looks for a student number to be able to display the list to them.
But as a member of staff you will be logged into Canvas as staff and will not have a student number, so the process fails.
How can I view the list as a student to check they can see it?
There are two ways:
- In Canvas - click on the three dots ... ellipsis menu to the top right of the reading list and choose 'View list as a student', or
- Go to the full web version of Leganto, find the list you want to see, click on the ... ellipsis menu next to the Edit button and choose the 'View list...' option:
