Try the demo classroom

The demo classroom is a practice class with 18 sample students and about eight weeks of work already in it. Anyone with a free account can open one. No approval needed, and the book part needs no account at all.

What happens when you open it

1. 1

   Open the demo

   Choose Open a demo class on the For Teachers page, or Open the instructor demo on the Textbooks page. The direct link is /teacher-demo, which you can also send to a colleague.

2. 2

   You start in the book

   It opens on chapter 4. A slim bar at the foot of the book walks you through what a student does: the hands-on steps, the practice quiz, and handing in QuickBooks® work for the smart grader. The whole book stays usable above the bar, so scroll, open chapters and click around as much as you like. Skip closes it.

3. 3

   Then the Instructor Dashboard

   The last stop of the guide, Now the instructor side, takes you to the demo class, and a walkthrough of the dashboard starts. If you are not signed in yet, this is where you sign in or create a free account, with a code we email you.

Open it again later and you get the same demo class back, with the same tour. The Walkthrough button on the class page replays just the dashboard part.

To show someone only what a student sees, with no class and no account, send /student-demo.
