TEACHERS TOOLKIT

The teacher toolkit allows teachers and trainers to set up Read & Write (V8.1) GOLD to suit individual needs. The tool kit can only be accessed by authorized users. 

From here it is possible to: 

• Enable or disable the various features of Read & Write (V8.1) GOLD a particular student has access to. For example, spell checking may be seen as providing an advantage within an exam or assessment. This can be turned off for the exam and allow the student to still have the other features available, for example the text to speech. By having the ability to switch off these feature the student can still be independent whilst taking the assessment.
  
• Set up new users.
  
• View and clear student spelling logs. The spelling log provides a list of recent corrections that a particular student has made.
  
• View and clear student activity logs. The activity log lists information such as; duration the program was used, number of words typed, number of errors, percentage of errors and any new words that have been learned.
