Designed to serve as a supplement to published materials currently available, this word processing instructional/learning materials guide is divided into five major sections: word processing equipment, dictation techniques, case problems in word processing, career opportunities in word processing, and phases in establishing an instructional word processing center. Included in sections 1, 2, and 4 are suggested course objectives, a course outline, student learning activities and materials, and student evaluation activities. Section 3 provides fifteen case problems which provide (1) situations for analyzing the five phases of word processing, (2) human relations situations, and (3) situations directly involved with the input and output of word processing. The fifth section contains a survey to determine word processing needs of area businesses and a prospective student survey for word processing programs. A glossary of selected word processing terms is included along with a list of sources of word processing films and a selected bibliography of instructional materials. (LRA)
