THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have a student who thinks he is rather clever starting an exercise then waiting out the timer. He was quite proud of himself for successfully recording a score of 2 WPM on every line of the lesson. This time our feature was created just for him. The effort report has also been an incredible tool to paint a clear picture of how he is really spending his time in class. THANK YOU!

Keyboard Mastery is a great program, not only for beginners but also for experienced typists. My classroom style is quite structured. With this program, I am able to touch base with every student as they finish a lesson, both to review their progress on that lesson and to introduce them to the new keys in the next lesson.

This is our third year to use the Keyboard Short Course for our 8th grade students. It’s a tremendous introductory training program. Although great for beginning keyboarders, it also challenges those with previous experience.
Very user friendly for students–they are amazed by their improvement and how well they type at the conclusion of the course. Ease of use for teachers is a huge plus–tracking student progress is basically effortless.

Hurray for Keyboarding Online, my students love this program! It is fun, it is challenging and my students are focused for an entire 80 minute class (which is a challenge in middle school)! It is great for students to be able to access the program at home so they can make up work that they have missed, and allows for individual differences. It is extremely easy for my students to use the program and they really like having the responsibility and independence for their own work . They have taken pride in their accomplishments.
The feature that turns on the backspace key and the monitor has really helped my students. They have really learned the keys without looking at their fingers.
As a teacher, it helps me track students’ progress and grades, communicate with my students through the message center, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of my students. I found this program very user friendly and our class is always up and running after the first day of the semester.
As they progress on to high school, my students will have a definite advantage because of their keyboarding skills. They will be able to produce work more quickly and more accurately than other students that have not had this program. I have eve had three of my own children work with Keyboarding Online.

I am in my second week of using the Keyboard Short Course online and the students are doing GREAT! I showed the SECRET video at least two times per class, used the M&Ms on their hands, and got them started. The ‘blackout timing area’ feature helped students focus on the copy and not on their hands. My goal was to get through lesson #2 by the end of the first week, and almost everyone, even the slowest of my 8th graders, is reaching and surpassing that goal. I am elated with both the progress of the students and their attitudes. The program is challenging and fun. Students are competing up and down the lab rows trying to do better than their friends. I let them do it!!! It makes the classroom more exciting and fun while accomplishing the goal of improving students’ speed and accuracy. Thanks for all your years of hard work developing this unique program.

I started the students with the program yesterday. I love it! My students who have been achieving great speeds with their pecking are hating life right now. And surprisingly, students who were not motivated int he past seem to like it. A couple of my boys who never took it really seriously seem to like the challenge of it. Even when it was the last ten minutes of class, when I allow them to go on to typing games or vocab, these two boys chose to stick with the Keyboarding Online. I hope the novelty doesn’t wear off!

Thank you so much. I am looking forward to starting another year! I really enjoyed using your product last year and feel our students performed much better on your system than the traditional method of instruction. Many thanks for such a great product!

I just love the Ten Key course. I love the instant feedbackj the students receive. It is a challenge and they really like the course. The students are totally in control of their grade. They can always redo lessons and improve.
I like to use the Teacher Manager to pull up the progress report and see how everyone is doing. Everything is right there!

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I have loved using the Keyboard Mastery program. I started using Keyboard Mastery approximately 15 years ago. I have used it with grades 6-12. I like the fact that students work at their own pace. There is no “down” time while we are waiting for student’s to catch up. i like the option to change the accuracy and weights of different timings.
I think Keyboard Mastery is an excellent program that I would recommend to anyone teaching keyboarding.

I am extremely happy with your programs! I have enjoyed using Keyboard Mastery this past semester with my students. We are also utilizing your Nuts ‘n’ Bolts Formatting. The students and I appreciate the fact that Keyboard Mastery can be accessed from home, allowing students to catch up on lessons if they have been sick. I am looking forward to using the Skillbuilding Mastery this semester.

I have yet to come across software that I found equally student friendly AND instructor friendly. The curriculum and software provides learning for the students at their convenience and provides faculty with the progress information on each student. I am very impressed with Ellsworth Publishing and I am very appreciative of their continued support and advancements to make our lives easier! Thank you!

Finally I have found solid, easy to use keyboarding, data entry, and skillbuilding software through Ellsworth Publishing. After just one 8 week session, students at Coastline Community College in Fountain Valley, CA are finishing the beginning keyboarding class with an average corrected speed on a 2-minute timing of 35 WPM and above.
I found everything the Ellsworth team promised to come true: instructor materials are well designed and easy to use, each course provides immediate student feedback, and I even have a message area to use right within the software. It is like standing right by the student. I am so happy we have adopted Ellsworth Publishing as our business computing keyboarding and data entry skills standard.

I have been teaching for 26 years and your product is one of the best I have ever used! I have never had as much success with my keyboarding students as I have had since I switched to your product. It is excellent!

Thank you for those great updates!! Thank you for all that you do. I have taught keyboarding and used many different programs and methods. Your program is head and shoulders above all the rest. Your customer service is second to none. There is no other publisher where you can get your problem solved right while you are on the phone. GREAT JOB!! Thank you!

Last fall my colleague and I used software from two publishers. I was lucky enough to draw yours; my colleague used another publisher. Within a few minutes of instruction I had my students up and running. My colleague and her students struggled to get started. The next day my students were able to pick up on their own; y colleague’s students needed additional instructions. The following semester, my colleague taught two courses; one with your software and continued to use another for the other class.
This year we are using your software exclusively for several reasons. The first reason is obvious, ease of use. The second is the students and I can see their scores in real time. Another is your software lends itself to self-paced courses.
The students actually had fun working with your text. They enjoyed the content of the timings. You have proved that a course can be created that is educationally sound and enjoyable to complete. Thanks and keep up the good work!

The technical support I have received has been second to none. Anytime I call I get an answer or help with my problem. There is no “hold” time like you get when you call tech support at larger companies.
