This cassette and book provide a refresher course in keyboarding for those who want to review their skills and build on their knowledge. It covers letters and numbers, display, spelling, punctuation and the application of keyboarding to business needs.
Office workers who have taken a career break for their families (or for whatever reason) are often concerned that their keyboarding skills have deteriorated. Many also feel ill at ease with the latest computer keyboards. This pack, containing a book and cassette, brings the teacher into the home - offering the returner or less confident student simple keyboarding lessons together with advice and explanations on the latest office automation and technology. Some knowledge of the keyboard is assumed, but with possible slow or rusty dexterity. Special attention is paid to new technique and speed development, with less attention to accuracy in the early stages of learning. Brief instructions are given as a guide to preparation of letters and documents and other office tasks. Kathleen Dulmage's teaching of learning techniques also eliminate the harmful effects of Repetitive Strain Injury, a serious and painful side effect of using a keyboard with outdated keystroking techniques and poor posturing. The C90 cassette offers prepared timings and the voice together with written word provides a stronger stimulus to quicker response. It can be used as an audio trainer in the classroom or at home. This pack is intended for use by those preparing to return to work after a career break.
