Hello, my name is Shane McLafferty. I go to MJC in CA. I'm taking a 1 unit course called Ten Key Mastery. I like the course a lot and have been doing very well in it. I make lil videos sometimes and I made a music video about your Ten Key Mastery course. I showed it to my friends and teachers and they love it! Its been uplodaded to YouTube and to MySpace. Hope you enjoy. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4U88-VDD9Q |
"I have been teaching for 26 years and your product is one of the best I have ever used...I have never had as much success with my keyboarding students as I have had since I switched to your product. It is excellent!" S. Wheeler, Frank Phillips College, TX |
"I am extremely happy with your programs...I have enjoyed using Keyboard Mastery this past semester with my students. We are also utilizing your Nuts 'n' Bolts Formatting. The students and I appreciate the fact that Keyboard Mastery can be accessed from home, allowing students to catch up on lessons if they have been sick. I am looking forward to using the Skillbuilding Mastery this semester." Nancy S., Western Dakota Technical Institute, SD |
"I have yet to come across keyboarding software that I found student-friendly AND instructor-friendly. The curriculum and software provides learning for the students at their convenience and provides faculty with progress information on each student. I am very impressed with Ellsworth Publishing and I am very appreciative of their continued support and advancements to make our lives easier! Thank you!" |
"Since adopting the Ellsworth keyboarding system three years ago, my completion and retention rates have doubled. Very few of today's college level keyboarding students need to learn the keyboard--most need to correct 'self taught' bad habits. The lesson content in all the courses - Keyboard Mastery, Keyboard Short Course, Skillbuilding, and Ten Key Mastery-meets this need by providing a varied drill sequence to build technique, accuracy, and speed. And best of all, the students enjoy the online setup!" Kathy S., Mira Costa College, CA |
"Finally I have found solid, easy to use keyboarding, data entry, and skill building textbooks and software through Ellsworth Publishing. After just one 8 week session, students at Coastline Community College in Fountain Valley, CA are finishing the beginning keyboarding class with an average corrected speed on a 2-minute timing of 35 wpm and above. This is the first time we offered keyboarding and data entry classes online, and our enrollments went up 100%. I found everything the Ellsworth team promised to come true: instructor materials are well designed and easy to use, each course provides immediate student feedback, and I even have a message area to use right within the software. It is like standing right by the student. Textbooks are reasonably priced and students like to use them...I am so happy we have adopted Ellsworth Publishing as our business computing keyboarding and data entry skills standard." Marg T., Coastline Community College, CA |
"Our College - CCNB-Dieppe - in Dieppe, New Brunswick, Canada is already registered on-line with 24 of our students for the Keyboard Mastery course. For many years, the students bought your books that came with a work diskette. Being the teacher, I put this book on the students list every September as I found the course to be great. This December, we got on-line through your Internet Web site with the 24 students who bought their textbooks and CD-ROM in September. How fun this is! Students love the fact that they can access their keyboarding lessons here at the College, at home or wherever there is a computer." L. Boucher, New Brunswick Community College, Canada |
"From an instructor's point of view, I love it! I also love the idea that students are the owners of it at such a reasonable cost. It is so easy to use and set up. Thank you for a great conversion to the web product." |
"I am very pleased with your textbooks and your hosting the software makes it extremely efficient and easy, I would like to now take a look at your textbook for speed and skill building. Would you send me 2 copies for examination?" |
"Last fall, my colleague and I used Skillbuilding books from two publishers. I was lucky enough to draw yours; my colleague used ___. Within a few minutes of instruction, I had my students up and running; my colleague and her students struggled to get started. The next day my students were able to pick up on their own; my colleague's students needed additional instructions. The following semester, my colleague taught two courses; one with your book and continued to use the ____ book for the other class. This year we are using your book exclusively for several reasons. The first reason is obvious, ease of use. The second is the students and I can see their scores in real time. Another reason is your book lends itself to self-paced courses. The students actually had fun working with your text; they also enjoyed the content of the timings. You have proved that a course can be created that is educationally sound and enjoyable to complete. Thanks and keep up the good work." Bonnie G., Monroe County Community College, MI |
