A beginners' tutorial in the use of the computer keyboard.

The user is instructed to type simple words and phrases. The difficulty increases throughout the tutorial - beginning with typing lower-case letters followed by capitals, with the use of Caps Lock and the Shift Key. At the end of the tutorial, the user must make a correction to a deliberate mistake in the spelling of the current date.

A further selection of six demonstrations and six practice sessions in further use of the keyboard is available at... http://www.adamfrost.net/elearningMaterials/keyboardSkills2/keyboard2.html The skills covered include the use of the Home, Insert, End, Backspace and Enter keys plus some basic use of the mouse in word-processing such as positioning the cursor at a particular point in a paragraph and double-clicking the mouse to select an entire word. When one demonstration has been visited or if one practice session has been successfully completed, a tick appears on the appropriate button on the main menu as confirmation.
