Assessment
| Assessment Methods |
|
|---|---|
| Assessment Description | Technique analysis via direct observation. Analysis of 1 and 3-minute timed writings to assess speed and accuracy rates. **Note that timed writings consisted of straight-copy alphabetic letters only testing, statistical testing, and alpha-numeric testing. Quiz on basic computer hardware and software knowledge. |
| Learning Outcomes | 1. Describe the hardware that makes up a typical personal computer; and the definitions and examples of operating system software, applications software, and utilities. 2. Identify and appropriately use special keys on the keyboard (for example: function keys) 3. Key the alphabetic, numeric, and symbols keys on the computer keyboard by touch with good technique at least 25 words per minute for 3 minutes with no more than 3 errors (backspace key disabled). 4. Key the numbers on the numeric keypad by touch with 95% accuracy. 5. Discuss ergonomics as it relates to office computing. |

Data Analysis
| Data Shared With | Instructors of the same course (at CCSF) |
|---|---|
| Data Sharing Methods |
|
| Data Summary | 5% of the students passed the course with speeds in excess of 45 wpm with greater than 90% accuracy. 10% of the students passed the course with speeds in excess of 45 wpm with 70-89% accuracy. 80% of the students passed the course with speeds between 20-44 wpm with at least 75% accuracy. 5% of the students did not complete the course or typed under 20 wpm |
| Analysis Summary | Given a 1-minute timed paragraph containing anywhere between 25-70 words, student can complete keying the paragraph WITHOUT error. Given a 3-minute timed paragraph, students should be able to type with at least 80% accuracy. |
| Next Steps Planned | Students need more individualized speed and accuracy builders to improve on their deficiencies before testing. |
| Learning Outcomes | Refer to previous answers. |
