The Typing platform in CodeHop gives elementary teachers tools to monitor class progress, view individual student data, preview lessons, and configure settings to match their teaching goals. These features support elementary 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 overall progress, accuracy, and speed (words per minute / WPM)
When each student was last active
You can also click an individual student to look further into their performance, activity, etc:
Viewing Typing Progress
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
Real-time progress and whether students are stuck
What's next on their path

View stats for your whole class or click into a single student
Export the report as a CSV
