I found your online typing course very impressive. For adults, however, I
would recommend a little more adult banter between the two characters -
perhaps humor similar to the type used in the CD trivia game "You Don't
Know Jack". I liked the feedback showing my typing speed vs. how many
errors I made and your graphics to illustrate finger placement were clear
and easy to understand. I'm not quite sure how the model would adopt well
to other topics, though, since typing skill can be assessed directly from
the speed and accuracy of the user's keyboard input but topics involving the
understanding of more theoretical concepts would require the development of
simulations or strategy exercises coupled with real time multivariant
assessment.
