In-Product Tutorial Videos

Some pages in the Teacher Portal carry a green Watch Tutorial button. This article says what it does and where to find one.

Watch Tutorial sits at the top right of a page, beside the heading.

Clicking it plays a short Typing.com video in a window over the page you are already on, so you keep your place. Press Escape to close the window and carry on.

As a teacher you have one on Students, Assignments, Curriculum, Custom Lessons, Billing and Reports. Each covers the page it sits on: adding students, creating assignments, working through the curriculum, creating and sharing custom lessons, buying Typing.com PLUS, and running reports on your classes.

Archiving a class has one too, inside the confirmation window that opens when you click Archive on the Classes page.

School and district admins see an admin video on Reports instead, and have two more: on Faculty, and on their own District-wide Settings or School-wide Settings page.

Class Settings has four of its own on any class, each beside the setting it explains: on the Goals tab beside Restrict Games Until Daily Goal is Met, on the Grading tab beside Benchmarks, on the Lessons tab beside Make All Lessons Active, and on the Advanced Options tab beside the theme setting, which a student's own settings show too. How to Adjust Class Settings covers getting there.

Pro-Tip: The Test Improvement Summary report has one of its own, inside the report window. Reports on Student Progress covers opening it.
