Keyboarding
If you want to learn touch-typing or improve your existing typing skills, this is the
perfect course for you! In these lessons, you’ll use the Keyboarding Pro 5 program, a
typing tutorial designed for personal computers, to learn how to touch-type—that
is, to type text you read from a printed page or a computer screen without looking
at your keyboard. Using Keyboarding Pro’s built-in word processor, you’ll learn
how to create, edit, and save word processing documents. As you improve your
typing speed and accuracy, you’ll use the word processor’s timed writing feature to
continually hone your skills. You’ll even learn posture tips to minimize fatigue and
help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. With the skills you master here, you’ll become
faster and more confident at the keyboard. By the end of the course, you’ll know
how to touch-type the alphabetic, numeric, and symbol keys; create, save, and edit
word processing documents; and successfully take a timed writing test during a job
interview.
Note: This course is not compatible with Macintosh OS.
