Subject: [typeabilitybeta] Significant problems with lesson 76
To reproduce:
1. Select lesson 76 and work through it systematically until you reach
the task requesting that you type 1 3 plus 4 6.
2. Press shift with equals on the main keyboard.
Error 1: TypeAbility says "no, it's not that, type the plus. You must
press", then it says nothing at all.
Error 2: If you type keys on the main keyboard and not the number pad,
for example if you had typed the figure 3 on the main keyboard during
that task, you would be told "no, it's not the 3, type the 3".
TypeAbility needs to differentiate and advise the user to use the number
pad instead.
3. Now continue to work through the lesson until you get to task 19.
This involves pressing the Star key.
Observation: It may be useful to include reference to where the star
key is because we do have a reminder of the geography of most of the
number pad earlier in the lesson.
4. The task is to type 17 multiplied by 28.
Error 3: When you attempt to type the figure 2, you are advised "it's
not the 2, type the 2" even though you have typed it correctly and you
cannot proceed with the lesson.
5. Quit the lesson and return to it, working through it as before.
6. When you get to the same task of typing 17 multiplied by 28, type
shift with figure 8 on the main keyboard.
Error 4: TypeAbility says "It's NOT the star, you must press" and then
it says nothing at all.
7. Type the requested num pad asterisk key.
Error 5: TypeAbility congratulates you, then it advises you to press
Enter. TypeAbility skips the rest of that task segment and you are not
required to type figures 2 and 8 at that point. If you press Enter, you
can work THROUGH that task again by typing 17 until you get to the point
in the task previously outlined where the lesson cannot be completed.
