Usually the best working posture for your arms is achieved when the input devices are at about elbow height. Chair height and/or work surfaces must be adjusted so that the wrists and forearms remain in a straight line. To reduce stress in shoulder area, keyboard and mouse should be placed next to one another so that reaching is not necessary. For best results, daily practicing periods should vary from 15 minutes to about one hour in length. Variation in motor skill acquisition is great between individuals so it is difficult to set a definite minimum or maximum limits to a keyboarding session, but, in general, short periods of practice will yield better results than very long sessions. Therefore, proper touch-typing should be reinforced whenever possible, preferably for at least 15 minutes every day.
Developing good keyboarding skills throughout the course is also essential. You can choose to complete each lesson unit or you can complete just a portion of any lesson unit and move on to another lesson.Īs touch-typing is a cumulative motor skill, it would be ideal to practice daily or at least every second day. The first two units of Lessons 1 – 10 will teach you the location of the alphabet keys on the keyboard. If you prefer a shorter course, complete only the first two units of Lessons 1 – 10. It takes between 6 to 10 hours to complete the entire basics course. You can choose how many lessons, exercises, and writing tests you will do.
