COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is designed to increase keyboarding speed and


accuracy. The students will be able to acquire keyboarding
skills that are necessary for the preparation of letters,
memoranda, reports and other business communications.
Students will improve keyboarding
techniques with exercises emphasizing the touch method
technique (home keys). This could develop the students‘
ability to attain a speed of 35-40; and 40-45 GWAM with
tolerable or fewer errors on a 5-minutes timed writing.

Course
Learning Outcome
At the end of the semester, the student should be

able to:

1. Master the keyboard by touch;


2. Type a minimum of 35-45 wpm on a 5-minute timed
writing with 5 or fewer errors.
3. Demonstrate good work habits, acceptable typing
techniques, and skills in using the computer
4. Correct errors in the content and format of
documents. 5. Demonstrate skills in proofreading,
punctuation, grammar, spelling, and keyboard
composing.
6. Exhibit Proficiency in encoding business
documents including letters, memoranda, tables and
reports,
manuscripts and financial reports using word
processing and spreadsheet.
7. Acquaints students with different typing jobs from

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 6
different offices.

Class
and Grading Policies
1. Timed Writings. Students are given a series of 3 and 5
minutes of timed writings. The best two timed writings
are averaged to determine their speed. To determine the
GWAM (Gross Words a Minute) get the figure at the end of
each complete line or at the point at which you stopped
typing. Divide the number of words by using the time
given; subtract the number of errors to get the NWAM
(Net words a minute). Divide the NWAM and GW times 100
to get the accuracy rate of the students.
2. Document Processing Tests. These tests are timed and
the document is evaluated for format and accuracy.

Chapter 1

Introduction to Keyboarding
Intended Learning Objectives (ILO) At the end of the unit, the

students will be able to:

1. Understand the history of Keyboarding;


2. Define keyboarding;
3. Learn the correct position at the keyboard; and 4. Know
the pointers to make your work station ergonomically
Correct.

Historical Background

The history of the modern computer keyboard begins with a


direct inheritance from the invention of the typewriter. It
was Christopher Latham Sholes who, in 1868, patented the
first practical modern typewriter.

Soon after, the Remington Company began mass marketing the


typewriters starting in 1877. After a series of technological
developments, the typewriter gradually evolved into the
computer keyboard your fingers know so well today.

Christopher Latham Sholes invented the QWERTY Keyboard in


1873.

. Typing is the process of writing or inputting text by


pressing keys on a typewriter, computer keyboard, cell phone,
or calculator. It can be distinguished from other means of

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 8
text input, such as handwriting and speech recognition. Text
can be in the form of letters, numbers and other symbols. The
world's first typist was Lillian Sholes from Wisconsin, the
daughter of Christopher Sholes, who invented the first
practical typewriter.

Keyboarding is the term used to describe the process of


entering data into a computer. To learn how to keyboard takes
techniques, familiarity and practice. (Zeitz, 2005).
Techniques involve how you sit, how you hold your hands above
the keyboard and how you tap the keys. Familiarity will be
developed as you progress with the lessons and exercises. The
practice involves repeating the activity until it becomes
automatic. Repeated practice will improve your ability to do
what you are doing. Keyboarding helps students to type with
proper technique, increase speed and accuracy and format
documents using the Microsoft Word. Document processing
includes the production of business letters, memorandums,
reports, agendas, minutes and itineraries.

Words Per Minutes is a measure of typing speed, commonly


used in recruitment. For the purposes of WPM measurement a
word is standardized to five characters or keystrokes.

Correct Typing Posture


Good posture is an important part of keyboarding. Change
your posture at frequent intervals to minimize fatigue. Avoid
awkward posture at the extreme of the joint range, especially
the wrist.

Correct position at the keyboard enables you to type

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 9
with greater accuracy and with less fatigue. When typing for
a long period, rest your eyes occasionally by looking away
from the screen. Making such movement and adjustments may
help prevent your body from becoming too tired. Long-term
bodily damage such as carpal tunnel syndrome and Computer
Vision Syndrome can be prevented.
The Following tips will help make your workstation more
ergonomically correct:

1. Sit at the center of the keyboard.


2. Adjust your chair and keyboard height, so your elbows and
your arms are close to your sides. Your arms should be
hanging
in a relaxed posture..
3. Sit up straight in your chair in front of your keyboard. 4.
Make certain your lower spine is at the back of your chair 5.
Position both feet flat on the floor with one foot slightly
ahead of the other.
6. Keep your eyes focused on the copy you are typing. 7. Keep
the brightest light source in your office to the side of
your monitor.

Chapter 3

Preparing to Keyboard

Intended
Learning Objectives (ILO)

At the end of the unit, the students will be able to:

1. Identify the different parts of the keyboard 2. Learn the


position of hands in the home keys; 3. Name the finger in
reaching up and down the home keys; and 4. Learn to compute
for the GWAM and NWAM.

A Keyboard is an input device used to enter characters and


functions into the computer system by pressing buttons, or
keys. It is the primary device used to enter text.

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 19
Parts of the Keyboard

1. Alphanumeric Key. Parts of the keyboard arranged the same


way as the typewriter that contains letters, numbers and
special characters and symbols.
2. Numeric Keypad. Located at the right side of the
keyboard, looks like an adding machine, and makes it
easier and faster to type numbers.

3. Function Keys. Keys on the keyboard that have a special


function defined by the operating system.
4. Cursor Movement Keys. Moves the cursor left, right, up and
down.

Home Row

Home Row is located in the middle of your keyboard and is


where your hands automatically go to rest. Place your fingers
on the A S D F keys with the forefinger or the F key. Place
your fingers on the J K L ; keys with the forefinger on the
J. These keys are considered the home row keys. Each finger
is named for the home row key it controls.

Position of Hands

1. Curve your fingers naturally

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 20
2. Place your fingers on F and J, lightly lay the rest of your
fingers on the home row keys.
3. Keep your wrist low but not touching the keyboard or
table. 4. Keep your elbows close to your body.
Naming Finger
Index finger – First finger
Middle finger – Second Finger
Ring Finger – Third Finger
Little Finger – 4th Finger

Every finger is used to reach the keys diagonally

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 21
above and below it. For example, the middle, finger of the
right hand sits on ―K‖ when at rest but reaches up for ―I‖
and down for ―,‖. The ring finger of the left hand sits on
―S‖ but moves up for ―W‖ and down for the ―Z‖ key. However,
the fingers on the ends of rows have slightly more work to do
as they are also involved in functions other than letter
choice, such as indenting, moving to a paragraph and
capitalizing.

Each index or pointer finger is responsible for two rows of


keys. The right hand pointer takes the ―U‖ and ―M‖ column,
as well as the ―Y,‖ ―H‖ and ―N‖ keys. The left hand index
finger is at rest on ―F‖ and moves up for ―R,‖ down for ―V‖
and over for ―T,‖ ―G‖ and ―B‖. The reaching involved here
can feel quite awkward in the beginning and you‘ll likely
need plenty of practice typing these letters before you
master them. Your little fingers will also have to do some
stretching as they are required for everything on the ends
that aren‘t covered by another finger.

Using the Space Bar


The Space Bar is located beneath the letter keys and is used
to space between words and after punctuation marks. Sit at
your keyboard. Place your fingers over the home row. Use the
side of your chosen thumb to sharply tap the space bar. The
cursor will move to the right.

The Enter Key


The Enter Key moves the insertion point to the beginning of
a new line. Reach to the Enter key with the little finger of
your right hand keeping your J finger at home. Quickly return
the little finger to the Home Row

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 22
position after tapping Enter.
The Back Space key deletes the last character you typed.
Reach to the Back Space Key with the little finger of your
right hand keeping your J finger at home.

Computation of GWAM and NWAM

To determine the GWAM (Gross words a minute) and NWAM


(net words a minute)
Get the figure on the right side of the material for the
total number of words typed. Get the figure at the end of the
line you have completed or at the point at which you stopped
typing. If you do not finish the line use the scale below to
determine the exact number of words. Divide the number of
words by using the time given for typing the material. Divide
the NWAM
and GWAM x 100 to get the accuracy level of the

students. GW / TIME – ERROR/S

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 25
193/5 = 38.6 GW 38.6 - 5 = 33.6 NWAM To get the
Accuracy Level

193 – 5 = 188/5 = 37.6
Accuracy Level NWAM/GWAM x 100
37.6 divided by 38.6 x 100 = 97.4%
Keep the record of your timed-writing practice to determine
your progress.

ESSENTIAL PARTS OF THE BUSINESS LETTERS

No matter which forms, style or format used in the business


letter, there are some essential requirements of a letter.
These requirements are the standard letter parts.

1. Letterhead. It contains the name of the company,


address, phone numbers and other data which serve to
identify the company.

2. Date. Is an essential part of a business letter since it


serves the purpose of proof as to when the letter was
written. It consists of the month, the day and the year.
It is written four or five spaces after the letterhead
and typed at the middle or 5 spaces to the right. The
current date is always used in a letter.
3. Address. It includes the name of the addressee, or the
person to whom the letter is intended, the business
title, Company Name and the complete address. Include a
personal title such as Ms., Mrs., Mr., or Dr. Follow a
woman's preference in being addressed as Miss, Mrs., or
Ms. If you are unsure of a woman's preference in being
addressed, use Ms.
4. Salutation. The greeting part in a business letter. It
is placed at the left margin, two spaces below the
Inside Address.
5. Body. It contains the message of the letter. It is typed
two spaces below the Salutation. Single space each
paragraph of a typed letter. Use double spacing

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 27
between paragraphs.
6. Complimentary Close. A short and polite remark that ends the
letter.
7. Signature Lines. It contains the name of the writer. It
is typed four spaces below the complimentary close. 8.
Reference Initials. It is the initial of the writer or the
encoder. It is written two spaces below the
Signature lines.
Font Type is an important factor in the readability of the
letter. The generally accepted font is Times New Roman, size
12, although other fonts such as Arial may be used. When
choosing a font, always consider your audience. If you are
writing to a conservative company, you may want to use Times
New Roman. However, if you are writing to a more liberal
company, you have a little more freedom when choosing fonts.

Administrative Assistant

Sta. Mesa, Manila

Dear Miss Cortez:

This letter is typed blocked style, sometimes referred to as


the modified block style. It is one of the most commonly used
styles of the letter in business today. In block letter
format, all text is flush with the left margin except the
date, the complimentary close, and the signature lines.

In block letter style, mixed or standard punctuation is


placed after salutations and another heading. Open
punctuation, however, refers to a modification of style where
all nonessential punctuation is omitted.

In block letter style, the salutation should begin with


"Dear" and should be followed with the proper prefix and last
name of the recipient. Although many letter writers are used
to following a salutation with a comma, the salutation is
followed by a colon in block letter format.

Very truly yours

MA. LOURDES H. PEREZ Adviser

Dear Miss De Leon:

This letter is type in semi-blocked style. This style is


considered conservative. It is almost the same as the blocked
style except that every line of the paragraph is indented
five or ten spaces.

This letter style is a combination of the indented and


the blocked forms. The reference initial indicates the
initial of the person who typed the letter.

This style is usually typed with mixed or open


punctuation. The salutation is followed by a colon, and the
complimentary close, by a comma.

Very truly yours

Dear Miss Villena

This letter style is considered a very modern style. Each


line starts at the left margin including the date,
complimentary close, and signature. The advantage of using
this style is that the typist does not have to use the
tabular key.

This style commonly uses the open punctuation, in which no


punctuation is used after any part of the letter except the
message.

This is a format you can use for all business

occasions. Very truly yours

Miss Annalyn H. Villena


Chief, HRDM

Sta. Cruz, Manila

Dear Miss Villena:


This letter illustrates the hanging-indented style, which at
a
glance, looks like the paragraph is inverted. The first
line of each paragraph begins at the left margin and all
succeeding lines are indented. This is semi-reversal of
semi-indented style.

This very useful style places the first words of each


paragraph
prominently on the page. It is useful for letters that
deal with a variety of different topics. However,
for normal communications, this style is very rarely used.

This style necessitates careful planning as the whole point


of
this style is to feature the paragraph starters which have
some common point of interest to product special displace.

Very truly yours,

Dear Miss Silang:

This letter style is for letters that are not the official
business of your company or organization. It is used when
typing letters of application or individual letters of
inquiry or complaint.
The Inside Address is typed above the dateline, typed at the
center of the page or 5 spaces to the right, usually 1 ½ inch
or 7 to 10 spaces from the top of the paper depending on the
length of the body of the letter.

The signature block is similar to other letter styles. It is


less formal but demonstrates the same level of courtesy.

on the type of work that is being written. Most manuscripts
and business reports are typed on plain bond paper, 8 ½ by 11
inches (small bond paper). The standard rule in typing
manuscript is double spacing unless there is a special reason
for making it single spaced.

Formatting Tables

Objectives:

At the end of the unit, the students will be able to:

1. Format and encode open, boxed and ruled tables.


2. Type Newspaper-style columns; and
3. Insert Additional rows and columns

Tabulation is arranging words and figures in columns to


produce a clearer presentation. The three (3) basic styles of
tables are boxed, open and ruled. Tables have vertical

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 56
columns, horizontal rows, and intersecting cells.
Applying Columns

To quickly place text in a column format, click the Columns


button, the Dialogue Box will appear, and then select the
number of columns The Columns dialog box allows you to
choose the properties of the columns. You can select the
number and width of the columns from the dialog box.

Using Columns

Table Columns. Organize text in columns and rows. Also


knows as parallel columns. They are useful in standalone
documents such as invoices, price lists, name and address
lists or any documents that require a careful organization
of related pieces of information.

Steps

1. Insert Table.
2. In the Number of Columns box (Alt + C) type a setting that
corresponds to the number of columns you want to display. 3.
In the Number of Rows box (Alt + R) type a setting that
corresponds to the number of rows you want to display.

4. Click ok.

Inserting Additional Rows and Columns


When a table in your document isn‘t large enough to
accommodate all of your text, you can easily insert
additional rows and/or columns within the table. From the
Table menu choose Insert Rows or Insert Columns (Alt + A,

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 57
I).

Use the same method to delete rows and columns from


tables. Table Auto Format

Tables are great for neatly organizing your text into


rows and columns. But the simplest way to create a beautiful
design for any table is to use the Table AutoFormat. This
tool gives you access to 34 built-in table formats. Each
format offers a unique combination of borders, cell shading,
fonts, colors and columns widths.

Newspaper-Style Columns

A newspaper-style is exactly what it sounds like


columns of text resembling the layout used in most
newspapers. Here are three important things to remember
about newspaper style columns:

1. The newspaper-style column option will apply to your


entire document unless you tell Word otherwise.

2. You can use This Point Forward option to tell Word to


apply this formatting to a selected portion of text.

3. Text wraps from the bottom of one column to the top of


the text. On occasion, this may cause unwanted paragraph
breaks.

Entering Excel Formulas and Formatting Data


A major strength of Excel is that you can perform

mathematical calculations and format your data.

Perform Mathematical Calculations

In Microsoft Excel, you can enter numbers and mathematical

formulas into cells. Whether you enter a number or a formula,

you can reference the cell when you perform mathematical

calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or

division. When entering a mathematical formula, precede the

formula with an equal sign. Use the following to indicate

COKEYDOC/rrsanluis@EARIST.ph.education Page 64
the type of calculation you wish to perform:

+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
^ Exponential

When creating formulas, you can reference cells and

include numbers. All of the following formulas are valid:

=A2/B2
=A1+12-B3
=A2*B2+12
=24+53

AutoSum

You can use the AutoSum button on the Home tab to

automatically add a column or row of numbers. When you press

the AutoSum button , Excel selects the numbers it thinks


you want to add. If you then click the check mark on the

Formula bar or press the Enter key, Excel adds the numbers.

Lesson 19

On a whole sheet, center this one-page manuscript,


unbound, double spacing

Employability is a management philosophy, Student


Rashid Khan from India, Mumbai, recognized that employment
and market performance stem from the initiative, creativity
and competencies of all employees, and not just from the
wisdom of senior management. (P) For employers, it involves
creating a working environment that can provide
opportunities for personal and professional growth, within
a management environment where it is understood that
talented, growing people mean talented, growing
organisations. (P) For many employees, the new contract
would involve movement towards a greater commitment to
continuous learning and development, and towards an
acceptance that, in a climate of constant change and
uncertainty, the will to develop is the only hedge against
a changing job market.(P) Traditional employment does not
include employability. Review of the literature regarding
traditional employment and employability suggests that
employability is related to work and the ability to be
employed, such as: the ability to gain initial employment;
hence the interest in ensuring that ‗key competencies‘,
careers advice and an understanding of the world of work
are embedded in the education system; the ability to
maintain employment and make ‗transitions‘ between jobs and
roles within the same organization to meet new job
requirements; the ability to obtain new employment if
required, i.e. to be independent in the labour market by
being willing and able to manage their own employment
transitions between and within organisations.
