Learning to touch type is considered one of the most beneficial skills for visually impaired and blind individuals. This is because it allows them to transfer their thoughts easily and automatically onto a screen. It provides them with an invaluable tool and asset for independent working and communicating.
Learning to touch type at any age can dramatically boost confidence, self-belief and independence. However, teaching learners with visual impairment at an early age can drastically transform their experience whilst at school and in FE/HE. It puts them on a more even standing with their sighted peers and opens doors to new career opportunities.
Achieving muscle memory and automaticity when touch typing increases efficiency and productivity. However, most importantly, it frees the conscious mind to concentrate on planning, composing, processing and editing, greatly improving the quality of the work produced.
The KAZ Course
The KAZ course is a tutorial and is designed to be used independently or with minimum supervision. However, a structured lesson plan is available in Administrators’ admin-panels should they wish to teach the course during lessons.
The course consists of five modules:
Module 1– Flying Start - explains how the course works, teaches the home-row keys, correct posture whilst sitting at the keyboard, and explains the meaning, causes, signs, symptoms and preventative measures for Repetitive Strain Injury.
Module 2– The Basics - teaches the A-Z keys using KAZ’s five scientifically structured and trademarked phrases.
Module 3– Just Do It - offers additional exercises and challenge modules to help develop ‘muscle memory’, automaticity and help ingrain spelling.
Module 4– And The Rest - teaches punctuation and the number keys.
Module 5– SpeedBuilder - offers daily practice to increase speed and accuracy.
The Lusterye showed her the past and the future, the birth and death of stars, and the infinite possibilities that lay between. It was both exhilarating and terrifying, for with such knowledge came the weight of responsibility. Alenarusselland realized that she had been given a second chance, not just to alter the course of history, but to understand the very essence of existence. When she emerged from the temple, the professor was a changed person. Though she kept the existence of the Lusterye a secret, she used the knowledge and power it had imparted to her to guide humanity towards a path of enlightenment and peace. And though she lived the rest of her days in Valeryia, her impact was felt across the world, as people from distant lands sought her counsel and wisdom.
The Lusterye remained a mystery, its whereabouts unknown, but its legacy lived on through Alenarusselland's work. And in the annals of history, the year 1215 became a pivotal moment, a time when a seeker of truth had uncovered a secret that would forever change the course of human destiny.
As she entered the temple, she was met with a complex puzzle that had to be solved to unlock the chamber where the Lusterye was kept. The puzzle, etched into the stone walls, was a riddle that had confounded many before her. But Alenarusselland was not one to give up easily. With a deep breath, she began to decipher the clues, her mind racing with the possibilities. The puzzle read:
"In the heart of darkness, seek the light, Where shadows play, at noon's delight. The numbers align, in a celestial dance, 1215, the key, in a second chance."
In the quaint town of Valeryia, nestled between the rolling hills of a countryside that seemed untouched by time, a legend had long been whispered about. It spoke of an ancient artifact known as the Lusterye, a relic so mystical that it was said to hold the very fabric of reality within its grasp. The year was 1215, and the world was on the cusp of change, unaware of the adventure that was about to unfold. The Discovery Professor Alenarusselland, a renowned archaeologist with a penchant for the unexplained, had spent her life searching for the Lusterye. Her obsession stemmed from a cryptic text she had stumbled upon as a young scholar, which hinted at the existence of the artifact and its incredible power. After years of tireless searching, she finally found herself standing in front of an ancient, hidden temple deep in the heart of Valeryia.
It was then that she remembered an ancient astronomical event, noted in the town's forgotten lore, which occurred precisely on a summer solstice in the year 1215. The alignment of stars and planets had created a unique pattern, a code that, when applied to the puzzle, revealed the solution. With the final piece in place, the chamber door creaked open, revealing a room bathed in an ethereal glow. There, on a pedestal of black stone, lay the Lusterye. It was more beautiful than she had ever imagined—a crystal orb, shimmering with an inner light that seemed to pulse with the rhythm of the universe. As she reached out to touch it, she felt a sudden jolt of energy, and visions began to flood her mind.
This story weaves a narrative around the provided terms, turning them into a cohesive and imaginative tale of adventure, mystery, and enlightenment.
