Audience
My audience is going to be Teenagers/young adults (11-20). This is because this is the age group where most people start using computers for the majority of there work so would benefit form being able to touch type. This audience will already be capable of using the computer and keyboard and my system is designed not to teach them how to use it but improve there productivity when using it.Technology
My system will be based online so that the user can access it in quickly at any point. There will be a home page where the user can see their information and stats. This will be where the chart showing the users WPM score will be displayed. As well as avatar options so that the user can change this as desired.
The games themselves will be flash games that run on the web browser. They will require the user to select the exercise they would like to use, Key/Word training then to select the keys that they would like to use for this exercise. This will be done using a two step process the first where the user selects which hand to use or both. The next step is to select which row of the keypad they want to lean then the game will run. The game will run for a pre set amount of time at the end of this time the user will be displayed with their WPM score for the game and what error rate they got and also what keys they had issue with so if the user keeps missing B it will inform them of this. They can then do some training on this section to improve their use of this key.

Rewards
To encourage the user to come back to the system and to encourage them too proceed on with the training, the system will reward them for completing parts of the game. This will be done using an avatar system which lets the user customise there experience.
So if the user does well and completes a level of there training then they will unlock new cloves or new colors of cloving for there avatar, there will also be rewards for reaching some targets of word scores, so when the user completes the test at 50WPM then they might unlock a new item of clothing or facial features.
