Postsecondary Keyboarding Students' Speed and Accuracy Outcomes When Using Electronic Equipment.

Joyner, Randy L.; And Others

Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, v35 n3 p175-89 Sum 1993

Analysis of over 750 timed writings of postsecondary keyboarding students found speeds ranging from 39-49 gross words per minute. They left uncorrected one-half to three-quarters of an error per minute. Accuracy and speed standards representing realistic conditions using electronic equipment should now be developed. (SK)
