There are thousands of online learning platforms out in the world these days. It can be utterly bewildering to the newbie or would-be student. How does one select a course and from which delivery platform. Obviously one must have a spirited surfing of the internet and try to narrow down our field of searching. Instead of just typing in learning courses, narrow it down to online learning courses in whichever subject or vocation is appropriate. Once the results fill the page before you, look carefully at the headings asnd subject lines. Don’t forget they all use cookies so if you want to minimise the amount of emailed traffic, do take precautions and not just accept cookies – do some refusing too! Another thing to watch is where the educator is based and what quality of certification and relevance will be supplied. How will this benefit your future plans – would paying a little more for another ‘brand’ actually pay dividends in the long run if you get a better, more recognised qualification of diploma out of your efforts? These are all very pertinent considerations when there is much at stake and so many providers wanting their little bit of your funding.

Old Fashioned Typing Speed Training & Methods
Just seeing this on-page image reminds me of some very early distance learning from many years ago. It involved typewriting, not just typing a few letters here and there. No, this was very serious stuff that helped the student to pick up fantastic speeds and accuracy over several weeks of tutoring via headphones from taped lessons, or even live broadcasts on a particular radio channel. The drawback to the latter was the speed was set and you had no way of slowing the tutor down – if you missed a bit, you had to skip ahead to catch up on the lesson, with no form of catching up on the lost section. At least with a tape recorded lesson, you could wind it back to the lost spots – I used to prefer this method, although it seemed very old and clunky compared to audio typing which became my absolute favourite of these dark arts! Audio involved the supply of headphone attached to foot pedals. These pedals were operated by taping buttons with one’s toes. I believe left was ‘stop go back’ middle was ‘stop’ and right was go ahead and keep going until the end. You could go back and listen as many times as you needed but this did defeat the object of learning to type as accuraely as physically possible.
