Learning to touch type is considered one of the most beneficial skills for visually impaired and blind individuals. This is because it allows them to transfer their thoughts easily and automatically onto a screen. It provides them with an invaluable tool and asset for independent working and communicating.
Learning to touch type at any age can dramatically boost confidence, self-belief and independence. However, teaching learners with visual impairment at an early age can drastically transform their experience whilst at school and in FE/HE. It puts them on a more even standing with their sighted peers and opens doors to new career opportunities.
Achieving muscle memory and automaticity when touch typing increases efficiency and productivity. However, most importantly, it frees the conscious mind to concentrate on planning, composing, processing and editing, greatly improving the quality of the work produced.
The KAZ Course
The KAZ course is a tutorial and is designed to be used independently or with minimum supervision. However, a structured lesson plan is available in Administrators’ admin-panels should they wish to teach the course during lessons.
The course consists of five modules:
Module 1– Flying Start - explains how the course works, teaches the home-row keys, correct posture whilst sitting at the keyboard, and explains the meaning, causes, signs, symptoms and preventative measures for Repetitive Strain Injury.
Module 2– The Basics - teaches the A-Z keys using KAZ’s five scientifically structured and trademarked phrases.
Module 3– Just Do It - offers additional exercises and challenge modules to help develop ‘muscle memory’, automaticity and help ingrain spelling.
Module 4– And The Rest - teaches punctuation and the number keys.
Module 5– SpeedBuilder - offers daily practice to increase speed and accuracy.
It raises many interesting questions about the world it inhabits—how did Earth become uninhabitable? What is happening in the other colonies? The film rarely answers these, choosing to remain frustratingly vague.
The film is visually stunning, making brilliant use of its low budget to create a truly believable, dusty, and lonely Mars.
The middle section of the film sags significantly, relying more on moody silence than plot development.
Brooklynn Prince (as young Remmy) proves her talent, carrying much of the tension. Nell Tiger Free (as older Remmy) and Ismael Cruz Cordova (as the volatile intruder, Jerry) are also standouts, managing to bring emotional depth to a very minimal script.
Settlers is worth watching for fans of slow-paced, character-driven sci-fi who prioritize mood over action. Its gorgeous visuals and high tension are commendable. However, those looking for a tightly plotted story or a new take on Martian colonization might find it a disappointing, sluggish affair. It is an ambitious debut that unfortunately doesn't quite stick the landing.
Settlers is a slow-burning, often gorgeous film that attempts to graft the tropes of a classic Western—isolation, land disputes, and violent survival—onto a desolate Mars landscape. While it succeeds in creating a palpable sense of dread and claustrophobia, it unfortunately forgets to build a compelling narrative, leaving the audience with an atmosphere that is, at times, as dry and empty as its setting.
The film builds toward a climax that feels anticlimactic and abrupt, offering little in the way of payoff.
Based on the 2021 sci-fi film Settlers (directed by Wyatt Rockefeller), this review reflects a tense, atmospheric, yet uneven cinematic experience.
