What is “Zz Account” or Prototype Account

Chapter 8
eLearning Engagement in a Transformative Social Learning Environment
A dummy user account that allows the professor to see exactly what the student will see. Even if the CMS has a “preview” mode for tests, you typically cannot use that mode to test things such as adaptive release or password protection (and trying to do so may cause errors). In fact, we’ve recently decided that having TWO dummy student user accounts is probably the only way to test many of the features in BlackBoard 9.x, especially if using adaptive release to accommodate students.

Abstract
This chapter is designed to provide resources and answer questions on two levels. In the first part, the authors present a menu of considerations and challenges that they have experienced when shifting an accredited undergraduate program to a parallel online modality over the past several years. In addition, they offer suggestions for working within the BlackBoard learning environment and give a glossary of commonly encountered online instruction terms. They identify some commonalities between online and traditional instruction that can serve to make newcomers more comfortable adding online teaching to their skill set.
