The Typing platform in CodeHS gives teachers tools to monitor class progress, view individual student data, preview lessons, and configure settings to match their teaching goals. These features support students as they build their typing and keyboarding skills.

Section Overview

In the Typing Overview page, you can see a snapshot of class-wide typing progress: who’s started, who’s in progress, and who’s completed lessons. You can also see:

  • Each student's current lesson status and activity breakdown

  • When each student was last active and what’s next on their path

Individual Progress Tracking

You can dive into individual student data by clicking the Progress tab within the Typing Overview page. Here you'll see:

  • Number of lessons and activities completed

  • WPM and accuracy per student

  • Real-time progress and whether students are stuck
