Helping your student log in for the first time
Whether your student is learning at school or at home, logging in to TTRS is quick and straightforward. To get started, open a web browser and visit:
https://us.ttrsonline.com (for students in the US)
https://eu.ttrsonline.com (for students in all other regions)
Alternatively, open the log in screen on the TTRS iPad app.
On the login page, have students enter their username or email address and password, then click Log In.
If they are the only person using TTRS on their device, they may wish to select "Remember me" so their password is saved for next time.
What if they don't know their username or password?
When you add a student account in TTRS, the system automatically generates a username and password for them. You can find this information by visiting the Students tab in your admin account.
Students can also view their own username and password from inside their student account by clicking the My profile option from the dropdown menu under the Student avatar.
The My profile page shows their username, allows them to add an email address, which can also be used to log in, and provides their password. Simply hover over the eye icon to view the password.
Your student can also change their password by using the button at the bottom of this page, and/or link their TTRS account to a Google Account and use the Google option to log in in the future.
Understanding Student vs Admin Accounts
TTRS offers several different account types:
Admin Accounts – Designed for parents and school administrators, admins can manage student and teacher accounts, assign classes, create custom subjects, generate certificates, run detailed reports, and adjust student settings.
Teacher Accounts – Teachers have similar permissions to admins, allowing them to manage students in any classes that have been assigned to them.
Student Accounts – Students can take Main Course and Subject modules, keep track of their progress, manage some appearance and typing settings, complete spelling assessments and take part in free writing sessions.
Ensuring your student uses their own account
It's important that you ensure your learner logs in to and completes work under their student account, not your admin account. This is because while both admins and students have access to the Main Course and Subject modules, student accounts offer more robust reporting and include settings such as gamification features that can be used to motivate learners.
Note, when an admin and student are sharing the same computer, a student may accidentally log in to the admin account. Remind them to always check the top right corner of their screen to be sure they see the green Student tag.
Switching between an Admin and Student account
If you find your student has accidentally logged in as an admin, it's easy for them to switch to their own account.
When first logging in, they can simply select the student account from the log in menu:
Alternatively, if they've already fully opened the admin account, open the Students tab and select Log in as this user under the student account they'd like to use:
Your student is ready to start
Once a student is logged in, they can begin their TTRS typing session and continue developing their keyboarding and literacy skills.
For personal computers, it might be a good idea to bookmark the correct TTRS login page and write their username and password on a post-it note to place near the screen. This will help them remember it in the future and ensure they can use TTRS independently.
If at any point your student experiences login issues, please get in touch with our support team.
