The progam is very popular amongst typing students, as a certificate of achievement can be printed by the user upon its completion (regardless of level of proficiency). TRIVIA The character of "Mavis Beacon" is not a real person, but rather a Logotype Persona (much like Betty Crocker ) created to bring a personal touch to the tutorial. Some have speculated that her image is modeled after Chicago schoolteacher Marva Collins . Her first name is in homage to Mavis Staples . The promotional photographs are of Renee Lesperance , a Caribbean-born fashion model. |
