QWERTY Curriculum
The resources on this page were originally designed to support the curriculum of English 102: College Writing and Research at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. It attempts to engage students by helping them research the local, national and global history of the interface that they (and the rest of us) use to write every day: the QWERTY keyboard. By using this familiar interface as a gateway to broader research questions, the QWERTY Curriculum connects students to a wide range of topics, including the history of technology, literary practices, women's labor history, global languages, social and political issues, and more.
Originally designed by UWM graduate students Rachel La Due, Anushmita Mohanty, and Ryan Vojtisek, the curriculum is available for re-use or adaptation under the terms of the Creative Commons license.
