Quick-start summary
In short, regardless of your role:
- Teachers: sign in at your school/canton instance, set the grading scheme for the class, import students (manually or via CSV) and assign lessons. The Type-O-Meter live dashboard shows progress as students type.
- Students: sign in, pick the next lesson in your learning path, type. Errors trigger targeted repeat exercises automatically.
- School admins (Plus/Pro): manage classes, teachers, licences and billing centrally in the admin area. CSV import to onboard whole school years at once; SSO via Edulog, Microsoft, Google or SAML.
