Students can also ask for help on any part of the program they don’t understand (with the ‘Ask Agent’ button). Customization available to studentsįor ease of accessibility, students can also adjust font size and play audio with rollover buttons.

Also from here, teachers can set class/student speed and accuracy goals, group students based on ability, and differentiate instruction through custom content. Teacher accounts include a dashboard that provides a list of students, detailed reports on student and class progress, the ability to create certificates, and more. PreTest with options for each lessonĪt any time during practice, students can click back to review but cannot move forward until they’ve finished all required preparations. Then, they take a pretest to assess their skills and place them at the right spot in the thirty-six lessons so they are challenged rather than bored. The first time students log onto Type to Learn, an introductory video explains their part in the mission and how they can progress through activities.
