TWONLINE User Administration
If you have control of a twonline EFIN, you are asked to establish training user ids for the students in your classes Use AARPnn ids If you have questions, I can help Remember to disable the ids before tax season starts If you do not have control of a twonline EFIN, your DC will set you up with training ids
ORTC Instructor Training 2013
33
TWONLINE, cont.
Plan to assign TWO user ids to new volunteers at the first class meeting Plan to assign TWO user ids to returning students 2 weeks before class via email
ORTC Instructor Training 2013

LINK AND LEARN ONLINE TESTS
Online test taking reduces paperwork and eliminates grading Instructions for accessing TWO/training and online tests, can be found on slide sets for new volunteer classes.
There is a handout containing information for accessing TWO/training and online tests For distribution in new volunteer classes For email distribution to returning volunteers two weeks before class
ORTC Instructor Training 2013
35
L & L ONLINE TESTS
In an ideal world, volunteers would pass the tests online by the end of class Paper tests are accepted There is a process for certifying after the conclusion of the class More on this later This year electronic signatures by volunteers, but not by certifiers, are accepted on volunteer agreements
