KP Typing Tutor International Generation 4.0
Advance Tips for Users
One of the advantages of KP compared to other typing tutors is that KP
provides alternative courses and text samples, and convenient ways for you add
your favourite course or text samples to the KP system.
Here is the descriptions of those samples text files supplied with this typing
tutor package.
kp.txt some office and scientific text
kpcourse.txt A course file for QWERTY keyboard.
course2.txt A longer version of πkpcourse.txtΣ.
course3.txt A course with style different from the above
coursed.txt A course for Dvorak keyboard
The default course using "kpcourse.txt" is shorter. This is based on the
assumption that most of the learners that can use a computer are very familiar
with the keyboard in various degrees, some can even type fairly fast but only
can not touch type. You might choose a course much shorter or longer according
to the situations of you or your students.
If you happen to be a network manager of a windows environment, you might
produce several program icons to start various π*.batΣ files that indicate
various practice styles. Please notice that Ms-window contain a Dvorak
keyboard driver, you must install it previously. Some vendors also provides
the
Dvorak keyboard driver for DOS environment.
KP provides two keyboard template styles each for the UK keyboard and the
US keyboard. If you want to modify the color of the keyboard template, please
refer to document "readme.2nd".
If none of the keyboards template files listed support the keyboards in your
country, you are encouraged to produce one. For more details, please read
"readme3.txt".
As mentioned in "readme.txt", KP is also useful for typing competition.
Since the goal of KP is to provide more flexible and convenient ways for
people with various characteristics and experience to learn to type quickly,
your comments are important to improve the efficiency of KP for learning and
teaching.
