MooTyper is an Activity module. A course admin, manager, or teacher creates the activity and prepares it for use by selecting the mode, the lesson, keyboard layout, and all the other settings to use. MooTyper currently, has three activity modes. Practice mode - students proceed through a lesson in the order of the exercises listed in the lesson. It also allows a student to delete the results of an exercise attempt, and try it over. Lesson mode - like practice mode, students proceed through a lesson in the order of the exercises listed in the lesson. Only an admin, manager, or teacher can delete an exercise result, and let the student try again. Exam mode - only one exercise from a lesson is presented for the student to attempt. Only an admin, manager, or teacher can delete an exam mode result, and let the student try again. When a student finishes an exercise his results are saved into a database, so the teacher can view individual student progress.
