Demo Tutorial If you would like to inspect a tutorial before assigning it to your classes, or if you would like to see how your students will see a tutorial, follow the steps below.

Slight Differences When using the "Demo Tutorial" button described above, a teacher will see a tutorial just as their students will with only a few differences. For every question in a tutorial there is a question view page and an answered view page. When a student first encounters a question, they are taken to the question view. After answering, and for the rest of the tutorial session, the student will only be able to see the answered view. BAIP handles this view switching automatically.

Teachers are less restricted when demonstrating a tutorial. Teachers are allowed to see both the question view(Q) and answered view(A) of a question at any time during a demo. So, for example, when looking at a tutorial Instructional Item question (3), a teacher has the navigation to go to both the 3Q and 3A views of that question.

WARNING: Don’t sign in as one of your students to demo tutorials.
When you sign in as one of your students and take a tutorial, your answers get permanently saved to that student's record. There is no way to delete demo tutorial from a real student's account. Even deleting and re-adding that student will not clear the fake tutorial scores.

Top Secret: There is one way to clear demo tutorial data from a real student's account
Contact Dan Spurgin (contact information below) if you logged in as a real student and took a tutorial. I'd be happy to manually go into the database and clean things up.

Thanks for using BAIP and thanks for helping us make BAIP better.  Please feel free to contact me with your questions and comments.
