Class Description: A beginner-level course designed to teach the fundamental skills needed to type on a keyboard efficiently and accurately. In this class, you will learn proper hand placement, posture, and typing techniques. We will also build awareness of potential physical strain caused by prolonged typing and methods to prevent and alleviate the effects. By the end of this course, you will have gained a basic understanding of how to type on a computer keyboard and have access to an online account to continue practicing so that you may become a confident and efficient keyboard typist.
