Create Your First Class and Add Students

The video below will demonstrate all the steps outlined in this section.

Creating Your First Class​

Repeat the following procedure for each class you're teaching with Typist. For simplicity, we don't recommend combining sections, although that's ultimately up to you! For example, if you're teaching three sections of Keyboaring 101, we'd recommend creating three separate classes in Typist.

  1. Click 'Home' at the top of Typist.
  2. In the Create a class box on the right, give your class a name. For example, the name KEY101 Keyboarding 101 - Section 1 - W32 will help you differentiate different sections in Typist. You can name your class anything you like!
  3. Below where you typed your class name, you may see a Select Class Template option. If you do, select the class template that matches your course. If you don't see this box or if your course is not listed, simply select My Class Is Not Here.
  4. Click the Create Class button.

Adding Students​

Once you've created your class, Typist will generate a class code (see video). Simply provide this video to your students, and after they create their Typist student accounts they will be prompted to enter this code. Once they do, those students will appear in your class! We'll touch on this a little more in the next section.
