WriteUp! Teacher Guide: Using Demo Mode 

Overview 

Demo Mode allows teachers to experience WriteUp! from a student's perspective without needing access to a student account or device. This feature provides a safe, simulated environment where teachers can explore the student workflow, submit writing, receive feedback, and practice revisions exactly as students do. 

Demo Mode is ideal for:

While in Demo Mode, you can experience the complete student workflow, including: 

Select a Writing Prompt 

Browse and choose prompts just as a student would.

Practice Revisions

Identifying Demo Mode 

When Demo Mode is active, a prominent banner appears at the top of the screen indicating that you are viewing the student experience in a simulation. 

This helps distinguish Demo Mode from the standard Teacher Dashboard.

You can return to the Teacher Dashboard at any time. 

  1. Select Return to Teacher Dashboard within the banner 
  1. You will immediately exit the simulated student experience and return to your teacher workspace.
