What is Typewriter EDU?
Typewriter EDU is the Austria-specific variant of Typewriter, procured via Marktplatz Lernapps, the catalogue run by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research. It is aimed at individual teachers and schools that want to start without administrative overhead — one licence per student, no tenant setup.
EDU is ready to go straight away — no own instance, no setup, but with supplementary lessons for the Austrian curriculum Digitale Grundbildung. If you want your own school instance with branding, choose the Plus or Pro version.
