Software Updates and Other News

Following our last newsletter and many requests from teachers, we have now made entry into the touch typing tournament, automatic. This means less work for teachers. Once a licence is purchased, learners are automatically entered into the tournament. A trophy emblem will appear in the top header bar of their course and all they have to do is 'click' on it to enter and take a test!

 

The tournament is now in full swing, and schools are entering from everywhere!

’Tis the season to be jolly, tra la la la la la la la la!

The theme of the season of goodwill and sharing has continued from last year to this, with Lauren and Emma sharing third place!

Only just ahead, Ananya takes second place, but in first place, is Sylvia!

Congratulations Sylvia on being our Christmas Champion!

Will she be able to hold onto her Santa hat CROWN, or will she be challenged?

Wishing all our students and teachers a wonderful Christmas and the best for 2025!

1. We have updated your admin panel for better data and statistical analysis. You can now view and export data, including problematic keys by student or group, allowing easier monitoring of learner progress. 

2. We have successfully integrated with a number of partners but should you have any further recommendations, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

3. We maintain strict security across all our courses, platforms and admin panels. If you see anything untoward or out of the ordinary, please get in touch with us as soon as possible.

4. If you have any insights or student achievements you would like us to include in our future newsletters: sherleen@kaz-type.com

5. The new typing tournament has begun! 

Administrators, please enrol your students by simply 'clicking' on the red button on your admin panel:

Once entered, all pupils will see and then 'click' the 'trophy' symbol at the top of their course for a simple one-touch login to the tournament. All results will display in your admin panel and added to our worldwide tournament. However, you can also use the statistics for an in-school tournament.

The tournament is entirely free to enter, and with Pearson introducing digital exams for English, there isn't a better time to get your pupils learning and honing their skills. 

It'll serve them well for FE, the workplace and for life.

Several teachers/administrators have requested that we make this feature an automatic entry. We will be looking into this shortly - if there are any concerns, please get in touch: info@kaz-type.com

Well done to student Lara for successfully completing the skill section of her DofE Bronze Award and attaining a Level 1 Ofqual regulated qualification. 

"I really enjoyed the course and thought it was easy to follow and a good way of teaching how to touch type. I loved the flexibility, so I could do it when it was convenient and I found it fun to do."

National Ofqual Regulated Touch Typing Qualifications (Levels 1 & 2).Developed in partnership with Open Awards. For more information, please visit our website or ring 01926 423424.

Please note that some schools are using the results of this qualification to add to their school’s overall 'value-added'.

Congratulations to Moon Hall School Reigate, Yesodey and Parmiter's schools on the recent successes of their students. We are thrilled to hear that attaining a touch typing qualification makes such a difference in your learners' confidence.

As an ex-Moon Hall student commented: 

"I felt the exam went well as I was confident in my ability, but I also liked the way it was a digital exam and I could answer the questions online. 

I started learning to touch type in year 6. I find it helpful as I can type without thinking, which means I can concentrate on what I’m trying to say. It’s very helpful in exams as I can type a lot quicker than I can write. "

KAZ for iPad

We are also pleased to confirm that our iPad app is live and available in the Apple store, making it easier than ever to incorporate digital learning into your curriculum. 

However, ensure your learners use a docking station or keypad to learn.

All results are updated in teachers' admin panels in real time.

As the sole provider of software that seamlessly operates across all platforms, including Chromebooks, Laptops, Macs, PC, iPads and SCORM, we ensure a versatile learning experience.
