Therefore assessments are frequently in the written format and students are encouraged to take hand-written notes in many subjects. Handwriting or drawing are essential skills for our students. Other than some broad observations from the points collected, their will not be a direct assessment of the student progress by the individual tutors. Each tutor group in in a discreet online space so if they want to compare their progress to other students they can check out the class scoreboard. Overtime we hope that our students feel comfortable typing and that is becomes and life-long skill.Īs students complete lessons they receive points which reflect their typing accuracy and speed.
Throughout the lesson the website records speed, accuracy and key strokes and provides a graphical summary at the end which provides useful feedback. Before each lesson a small animation is shown which highlights finger positioning and effective technique. We suggest that our students work through the hundred lessons at their own pace and focus on the feedback that the typing tutor offers. The site is free so anyone can open and website and give it a try.
Since the introduction of student laptops, the ability to type accurately and quickly has become an important skill that sits alongside handwriting and other communication skills. Typing Club is an excellent touch-typing tutor.
