Cost-Effective Keyboarding.
Dundon, F. J.; Holliday, P. M.
Aspects of Educational and Training Technology Series, v25 p109-11 1992
To determine if initial keyboard training resulted in more effective use of capital investment, two groups were tested: one received keyboard training using a manual typewriter, the other trained in word processing on a computer. Keyboarding was tested before and after and student attitudes were surveyed. Concluded that keyboard training is cost effective, increasing proficiency by 150% for beginners. (PEN)
