TypingTutor is a typing tutor program that teaches touch typing. Touch typing involves typing without looking at the keyboard by using muscle memory to find the keys. The home row keys are ASDF for the left hand and JKL; for the right on a standard QWERTY keyboard. Most keyboards have raised markers on the home keys to help touch typists maintain proper form. Students are instructed to complete all lessons on an online typing tutor and submit screenshots for credit.

TouchTyping
Touch typing is typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys. Specifically, a touch typist will
know their location on the keyboard through muscle memory. Touch typing typically involves placing
the eight fingers in a horizontal row along the middle of the keyboard (the home row) and having them
reach for other keys. A person who spends most of their day touch typing is usually a copy typist or an
audiotypist.
On a standard keyboard for English speakers the home row keys are: "ASDF" for the left hand and "JKL;"
for the right hand. The keyboard is called a QWERTY keyboard because these are the first six letters on
the keyboard. Most modern computer keyboards have a raised dot or bar on the home keys for the
index fingers to help touch typists maintain and rediscover the correct position on the keyboard quickly
with no need to look at thekeys.
