Suggested Age:   15+ years Rating:  Good
Description:  Skillbuilding combines unique pretest/practice/posttest diagnostics with the power and flexibility of the microcomputer, allowing instructors to individualize instruction--even in group settings. The two-color text includes an easel for easier viewing and can be used as a primary resource or as a supplement to keyboarding courses. The program measures speed and accuracy; determines keyboarding problems; prescribes practice; establishes skill-improvement goals; and measures progress at regular intervals. There are 35 progress checks included. Course plans are provided for 30-, 45-, 60-, and 90-hour courses. Windows-format software includes built-in pacing, and features high-interest graphics and animation.
