Typing tutor for business

[JayE]

Hi,

I look after a small network of 22 PC users, many of whom would like to learn to type properly and/or increase their speed/accuracy/familiarity with keyboarding.

I am looking for a program which can log numerous students, allows them to "dip" into the program for however long they want to, and leads them gradually through the program, tracking their progress in speed/accuracy. I have seen some programs but have not yet been impressed, as so many of them seem designed for younger people and seem patronising to adults or are too basic.

May I have your thoughts? If you know where I can see screenshots or get a trial of Mavis Beacon, I'd be grateful because I've read very mixed reviews.

Regards, Jay/UK

I would recommend YESolo on the Keyboard

http://ergosolo.com

You can plunge into it all right and remain as long as you wish.

Good luck!

Hello Jaye

I'm at work at present but will be home by 4:45 and will give yiou the name of the package I've just started using

Reasons for reccomendation

It's as unforgiving as my RSA II teacher at Comp
within 2 hours the regime was returning back to my fingers

It emphasises accuracy before speed and then speed later on

It's an intuitive interface that needs little training.

PC World are doing the package for £1:00 ( puter glitch on pricing should be £10.99) and I'll collect one if they are still there on my way home and post it to you if you would like. let me know by 4:30 (Tues)

Mean while for the more fun minded popcap.com has typing shark meant for people who have the keyboard layout already in place and know the finger positions so they can speed up for fun. Down side is the other nine games may distract them.
