Prerequisites

​
Launch Type the Word

Sign in to Canvas with your student account. Open your course and select Type the Word in the course navigation, or open a Type the Word assignment. Complete the Clever authorization prompt if it appears, then wait for Type the Word to open “Home”.
On a shared device, always launch from your own Canvas session. Type the Word ends the previous local session before beginning a new Canvas login.

​
Verify access

Confirm you reach “Home” without an access or role error. Check that the account name in the upper-right is yours.
Student Home with a numbered arrow pointing at the Student Demo name button

1 is your name in the upper-right corner.

If you see “You don’t have any upcoming assignments”, that is normal until a teacher creates one. See When you have no assignments for what to do in the meantime.

​
Setup complete

Student onboarding is complete when the student can launch Type the Word with the correct school account and reach “Home” without an access or role error.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Another student’s name appears: Return to Canvas, sign out, and begin again with your own account.

​
What’s next

Find your assignments on “Home”, or keep practicing until a teacher creates one.
