Typing effectively is when there is an increase in productivity (measured in words per minute) and a decreased risk in injury. This is what typing tutor has to offer.

Vancouver, BC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/05/2011 -- Ergo-Motion Consulting today released a new complimentary program online called Typing Tutor. It is a tool that teaches individuals to type in an efficient and ergonomic manner with a QWERTY keyboard.

This is a computer-dominated age where success often depends on efficient use of a computer. Computers are used in offices, for marketing, for advertising, for movie-making, and in most industries. However, computers are only useful if the user can efficiently and properly use a keyboard input device. Improper keyboard use can also lead to musculoskeletal injuries such as, but not limited to: carpal tunnel syndrome, neck strain and other repetitive strain injuries. Repetitive Strain Injuries is a term used to refer to musculoskeletal injuries that occur due to completing the same task over and over again. Besides repetition, the force and posture requirements are major risk factors for repetitive strain injuries.

Typing Tutor is a free online tool designed to teach an efficient and ergonomic technique in keyboard stroking. It introduces progressive lesson plans, including 21 units – each consisting of 5 lessons. Participants have plenty opportunities for practice, and lessons can be repeated so to accommodate the different learning speed of individuals. Typing Tutor provides statistics of words per minute (wpm) while typing and it also keeps track of the number of errors made, so that improvements may be monitored. Typing tutor is not a program that needs to be downloaded, it can be accessed online by visiting: http://typing.ergo-motion.com/

These days, everyone types. Emails are typed, messages are typed, messages are sent on facebook, tweets are sent on Twitter, and people connect via instant messaging.

Vancouver, BC -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/11/2011 -- Ergo-Motion Consulting today announced the release of the Ergonomic Assessment Tool. This complimentary online ergonomic assessment tool allows companies, employers and employees alike to determine if an ergonomic assessment is necessary.

An ergonomic assessment is a means to determine if an individual is at risk of injury at the workplace. Included in an ergonomic assessment are recommendations to decrease the risk of injury, and increase comfort. The ergonomic assessment comes with a cost, and Ergo-Motion Consulting realizes this. Therefore the Ergonomic Assessment Tool was developed for the convenience of both companies and employees. It will determine if an individual will benefit from an on-site comprehensive ergonomic assessment. This prevents frivolous spending for those who do not require an ergonomic assessment. Ergo-Motion Consulting also realized the importance of time and convenience, so the Ergonomic Assessment Tool was made accordingly.

It is a brief, two-minute, online quiz.

After completion of the Ergonomic Assessment Tool, complimentary tips will be given which are aimed at helping to create a comfortable and injury-free workplace. Fancy equipment is not always necessary to make workers more comfortable and injury-free, sometimes the workplace needs only a few minor adjustments. It takes less time to take the ergonomic assessment tool than to peel an orange, and in that time, participants could be one step closer to a more comfortable and injury-free workplace.
