Typequick
for Students is a truly interactive animated movie containing
rich artwork and animation with over 2500 pictures and 64 full
screen background scenes all in 256 colours. There are 900 WAV
files that add great entertainment to the whole experience. Unlike
other typing tutors which have a few corny games bolted on to
boring exercises, Kewala's adventure is fully incorporated into
the TYPEQUICK course. This fascinates teenagers who keep coming
back to continue the course.
Easy
to use, Typequick for Students manages the learning environment,
at the same time giving the user the feeling of being in control
of the program. We have also removed the anxiety created by the
questions found in other typing tutors, for example, "Which
letter would you like to learn next?"
Typequick for Students has all the same artificial intelligence,
motivation, remediation and teaching techniques seen by users
in our previous award winning products. It is recognised as the
fastest tutor with the highest success rate.
Course
outline
Typequick for Students signature course "Finding the keys",
is a structured course of 10 lessons, hidden in 10 routes, which
follow a logical teaching order. You are guided from lesson to
lesson, so the Typequick 'teacher' always knows where you are
and what you need in the next lesson.
The
first 8 routes will teach you to type with ten fingers, without
looking at the keys. You will be able to read what you are typing,
it's a great feeling!
Route
9 is to build up speed, and route 10 is to develop accuracy -
helping you to get it right more easily, more often.
Once
you can type without cheating, you are ready for the BIG CHALLENGE.
In this section you are challenged by interesting characters and
you use your typing speed and accuracy to get even. Once you successfully
complete all the challenges, you will reach the Kingdom of Eaz
where everybody can type with ten fingers.
Meaningful
text - Exercises are modelled on English sentences and not on
nonsense words. Stories and characters are built through the typing
text. This helps you enjoy the learning experience. Occasional
nonsense drills are included to build concentration and to practise
unusual letter combinations.
Relevant
reporting tools - Clear reports are displayed at the end of every
lesson part. Users can view progress at any time during the course
through the Statement of Proficiency or Progress Reports.
Additional courses have been added to complete the learning of
keyboard skills. Lessons to teach the most commonly used punctuation
keys as well as Keypad lessons are incorporated.
Also included is an Administration program to help administrators
group, sort and search multiple user data as well as other useful
tools.
