How do I become a teacher?

In order to become a teacher, you need to register a new regular account (if you do not have one) or sign in using your existing account. Then, change your TYPE to Teacher on the My Profile page. Please, note that you can change back your TYPE from Teacher back to User only if you do not have any active classes.

How do I create a class?

After becoming a TEACHER, two new pages will become available: Typing classes and Typing courses. On the Typing classes page you can create, edit or remove typing classes.

To create a typing class, you need to provide a title and password. The class username will be generated automatically. Class username and password will be used by students to log in to their typing classes. Please, read "How do students log in?" section for more information.
You can edit, deactivate/activate or remove the class at any time (no one can sign in to the class if it is not active).

How do I add students to a class?

There are two methods for adding students to a class: either create a new student account using the "Add Student" section or Invite if student already has an account.

When you create a new account using "Add student", you need to provide only the first name and last name and the desired username. If do not provide a username, then it will be generated automatically. Please note that students do not use their own usernames and passwords in order to sign in (by default; this can be changed later) - they use the login credentials of the class.

Teachers can edit students' details or move a student from one class to another at any time.

How do students log in?

Each class has its own login name and password. Students can use the login name and password to log in. After logging in, students will see the list of all students in the class and can choose their own names to complete the login process.

How do I create my own typing course?

If you have your own method or want to create a more complicated typing tutorial for your more advanced classes, you can create your own typing course.

First, create a new typing course, then start adding typing lessons to the course.
