Keyboard typing is a lifelong skill that's heavily utilised in education and many careers. However, when adolescents teach themselves to type, the process is often slow and their typing can be inefficient and un-ergonomic. We present Turbo Typing, an online evidence-based touch typing course with game-like elements. It uniquely breaks down the skill of typing into separate, research-informed sub-skills and monitors and provides feedback on each in order to accelerate learning.
Turbo Typing provides individualised programmes of modules based on the typist’s current sub-skill performance. Sub-skills of typing include familiarity with the keyboard, the ability to overlap keypresses, and the ability to plan several keypresses in advance.
Turbo Typing is also a research enterprise that collects data on learning rates and sub-skill development to cyclically improve the content of the course.
