Ultrakey
Description


UltraKey

UltraKey guarantees typing fluency by building good habits, speed and accuracy through structured lessons. Learning is supported by voice, 3D animation, video and virtual reality.

Users of every age, need, and language learn with UltraKey because it provides the most flexible personal instruction found in any instructional program!

UltraKey is the school district choice because UltraKey’s powerful IP-based learning management tracks performance throughout the district while leaving local control in the teacher's hands. Comprehensive reporting complies with America’s No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA).

UltraKey is available in localized editions for Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

About TopTenReviews

   

UltraKey is included in a roundup of typing tutors for kids at the TopTenReviews web site. We appreciate that UltraKey has been included but a disturbing amount of information presented at the site is factually inaccurate. We are even more concerned that the TopTenReviews site purports to rank the various typing tutors. Given the technical inaccuracy of the review, one can hardly place much value on the ranking.
