Description

We developed a Japanese keyboarding training and certification system for elementary school children. First we consulted with the experienced elementary school teachers who have conducted advanced study on keyboarding for children and then designed 30 steps to learn Japanese keyboarding. We designed a web application system with a story like that of a role-playing game. For two months from May 2003, the system was evaluated through a trial with 1,897 children from 19 elementary schools, and then adjusted the system prior to the official launch. The system was formally opened from September 2003. In March 2004, it was used by 52,326 Japanese children. Subjects ranged from third graders, the largest number of registrants, to sixth graders; according to analysis of training logs, this system improved the speed and accuracy of Japanese keyboarding by elementary school students.
