Introduction
This user guide is intended for administrators (responsible for the technical aspects
of Typing Pal Online) as well as teachers (responsible for overseeing its use). It
explains how to create, manage and configure the different types of account
(administrator, teacher and student).
There is also a guide that advises teachers on the pedagogical aspects of planning
lessons. This guide is available in PDF format and can be found in the
Documentation section.
If you need a hard copy of this guide, please think
of the environment and consider double-sided printing.

Codes
Subscription Code
This code acts as a subscription’s unique identifier. It consists of 11
characters and always begins with TTP, followed by four letters and four
numbers (e.g. TTP-ACDB-4213). Together with a password, it allows the super
administrator to log in.
The subscription code is shown in the Subscription Summary and the School
Summary.
Key Concepts 9
School Code
This code acts as a school’s unique identifier. It allows administrators, teachers or
students to identify their school and connect to their account. It consists of eight
alphanumeric characters (e.g. DS22JKYM).
The school code is shown in the School Summary and the Teacher Summary.
Access Code
Once the school code is entered into the login page, students can use the
access code to reach the registration page and create their accounts. This allows
students to be given responsibility for creating their own accounts.
The access code is shown in the School Summary and the Teacher Summary.

Overview of the Admin Interface 14
Overview of the Admin Interface

The interface’s general navigation layout is the same for all administrators (super
administrators, school administrators and teachers).

5. Tabs: Navigate through the tabs to access the different sections of each admin
level.
6. Summary: Edit the information contained in the summary.
*The Support section is accessible to administrators only.
List Navigation
The navigation layout for lists is the same in the Schools, Teachers, Groups and
Students tabs.
1. Items: Click the names of the schools, teachers groups or students contained in
the list to access them.
2. Headings: Sort the items in ascending or descending order by clicking on the
column headings.

Searching, Filtering, Sorting and Selecting
Searching
The search function is available in the Schools, Teachers, Groups and Students tabs,
using the Filter list button. The following fields are searched as you type:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Last name (student and teacher)
First name (student and teacher)
Username (student and teacher)
Group
School name
School code
Elements corresponding to the search are highlighted in orange once they are found.
Filtering
Filters allow narrowed down results to be selected, refining the search function and
simplifying the selection of elements.
The following filters are available according to the tab selected.
•
•
•
•
School
Teacher
Group
Last login
Note: Clicking Filter list again will hide and reset all filters.
Sorting
Sorting allows items to be arranged in ascending or descending order according to
the selected column heading.
This feature, along with the careful selection of filters, facilitates the effective
selection of a group of items. For example, filtering student accounts by login date,
then sorting them by date of creation will reveal all of the old, unused accounts that
should be deleted.
Selecting
Selecting items in a list is can be made easier by ticking the first box that appears at
the top of the column, and with certain combinations of keys.
Ticking or unticking the first box that appears at the top of the column causes all
displayed items to become either selected or deselected.
Holding down the keyboard’s Shift key (⇧) while selecting more than one unselected
item causes all elements between these items to become selected. If the items are
already selected, this action will cause them to become unselected.

Excel: CSV (Comma delimited)
Numbers: CSV (Unicode UTF 8)
CSV files are made up of fields delimited by semicolons (;) or commas (,). Typing Pal
Online accepts both types of delimiter.
Note: If the contents of a field already include a colon or semicolon, those contents
must appear between quotation marks (" "). For example, the contents of the name
field may read "Holden, PhD", so that the comma after Holden is not treated as a
delimiter.
Importing the CSV File

Deleting Imported Files
Super Administrator
The Import History section in the Import tab keeps a record of the time and date of
each import.
Warning! After clicking on Delete, everything created by the imported file on the
given date and time will be definitively deleted. In the case of schools created by the
import, all accounts associated with them will be definitively removed.
STUDENTS CREATING THEIR OWN ACCOUNTS 63
Students Creating Their Own Accounts
Administrators and teachers can create accounts for students. However, it may
sometimes be easier to ask students to create their own accounts.
To do this, teacher must first:
1. Create a group to assign to students. 2. Tell students the URL for the Typing Pal Online homepage.
3. Tell students the school code.
4. Tell students the access code.
Once the teacher has provided the login information, students should go to
the Typing Pal Online homepage by typing the following URL in their browsers:
Students should then click Typing Pal School Login.
Students are then asked for the school code, which they should enter before
clicking Submit.
Finally, students should enter the access code and click Start registration.
Students will now be able to create their own accounts by filling in the form shown
below. Remind students that it is important that they choose the right group.
