Typeonline was designed and implemented by Dave Bartlett, a web developer based in Hampshire, and began as a small in-house project intended to do no more than keep the rust from the author's keyboard skills.
Discussions with family and friends convinced him that a free online typing tutorial would provide a useful resource to a wider audience, and led to revisions of the initial typing practice routine into the full featured offering of Typeonline.
We are proud to say that both Education Network Australia (EdNA) [edna.edu.au], and the National Grid for Learning (NGfL), have assessed Typeonline and judged our offering to bea quality educational resource.
The copy practice and speed test exercises use exerpts of published works for their sample texts; the copyright of those exerpts belongs to their authors.
