Empower Students with the "My Progress" Page on Typing.com

We're excited to give you a closer look at a key part of your students' Typing.com experience: the My Progress page! While you track comprehensive data in your teacher dashboard, understanding exactly what students see when they check their own progress is crucial. This enhanced view empowers them to take ownership of their learning, and knowing how it works empowers you to guide them more effectively.

Think of it as looking over their shoulder to see their personal dashboard. Let's explore the features now available to your students on their "My Progress" page.

What Your Students Can Now See:

When students navigate to their "My Progress" page, they get a detailed, personalized snapshot of their journey:

• At-a-Glance Summary: Right at the top, students see their key stats: Total Stars earned, overall Average Speed (WPM), Average Accuracy (%), and the total Time Spent Typing across all activities.

• Performance Over Time: A great feature students can use is the Time Frame filter. They can toggle their summary stats to view progress specifically from the "Last 24 Hours," "7 Days," "30 Days," or see their "All Time" achievements. This helps them track recent performance versus long-term growth.

• Lesson-by-Lesson Details: Scrolling down reveals a comprehensive breakdown of every unit and lesson:

  • Completion Tracking: Clear percentage bars show exactly how far they've progressed in each lesson and unit.

  • Typing Metrics: For each completed typing lesson, students see the Stars awarded, their specific Speed (WPM) and Accuracy (%) achieved for that lesson, plus the Time it took.

  • Quiz & Activity Scores: Results from Digital Literacy quizzes or other activities are clearly displayed.

  • Visual Milestones: Completed sections are marked, giving a clear visual sense of accomplishment.

How This View Helps Your Students

Giving students direct access to this detailed progress information fosters several key learning benefits:

• Increased Motivation: Tangible results like rising WPM, high accuracy scores, and earned stars provide positive reinforcement and motivate students to keep practicing.

• Improved Self-Awareness: Students can easily identify their strengths and weaknesses. They might see they excel in speed but need to focus on accuracy, or notice specific lessons they found challenging.

• Greater Ownership: This transparency allows students to monitor their own growth, set personal goals (e.g., "I want to get 3 stars on the next lesson"), and feel more invested in their learning process.

• Clear Feedback Loop: Students see a direct correlation between their practice efforts and their performance metrics, understanding how focused effort leads to improvement.

Why Understanding the Student View Matters for You

Knowing exactly what your students are seeing on their "My Progress" page equips you to be a more effective educator:

• Guide Targeted Discussions: You can have more specific conversations. Instead of just saying "work on accuracy," you can suggest, "Check your 'My Progress' page – look at the accuracy stats for the 'T, S, and L Keys' lesson. Let's focus there."

• Promote Student Reflection: Encourage students to actively use their page. Ask questions like, "What does your My Progress page tell you about your typing this week?" or "What goal can you set based on your current stats?"

• Bridge Communication: Understanding their interface helps you speak their language and relate to their experience within the platform.

• Support & Troubleshoot: When students have questions about their performance or where to find certain results, you'll know exactly where to direct them.
