Abstract:
The present invention is directed to systems and related methods of teaching pre-keyboarding and keyboarding on a QWERTY-style keyboard wherein a color-coded row-based metaphorical and visual cuing system is used in a curriculum to make foundational keyboarding skills easy-to-teach and easy-to-learn, including: unilateral hand/finger skills, Home Row hand/finger positions, relational position of symbol location, and the essential keystroke spectrum of Home Row positioning-based finger movements of the left and right hand. The invention provides a dynamic virtual keyboard with colored rows which hexfurcates the QWERTY layout into left- and right-handed row sections, independently toggling the visibility of each in a developmental order to teach keyboarding skills in incremental steps rather than all at once. The invention further provides a dynamic cursor that uses visual indicators that mirror the visual cuing system to reinforce instruction with the dynamic virtual keyboard and aid keyboarding accuracy.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for teaching a student keyboarding, said system comprising:\n a. a computing device having a display screen and a physical keyboard, wherein said display screen has an activity space; b. an interactive activity displayed in said activity space, wherein said interactive activity displays a target symbol, wherein the target symbol cues the student to press a corresponding physical key displaying the same symbol on the physical keyboard; and c. a virtual keyboard displayed on said display screen, wherein said virtual keyboard has a coding scheme and a plurality of virtual keys having a spatial organization, wherein said coding scheme is comprised of a plurality of unique visual indicators that visually partitions said spatial organization into one virtual column having a plurality of virtual rows, wherein each visual indicator uniquely identifies one virtual row, and wherein every virtual key in each virtual row is additionally marked by a unique symbol.
