I would have though that for the effort involved in creating a course like this, which involves a huge amount of teaching , you would be better off buying a product, (something like Mavis Beacon if it is still around, it was excellent), or even the free course at http://www.typeonline.co.uk/.
Not really a course on fundamentals of touch typing, but I loved this site before the firewall clamped down on it. Users race with other users to see who can finish typing a random segment of prose first. Then it saves your wpm and even has a leaderboard.
But my all time favorite tool is an old Sega Dreamcast game titled "The Typing of the Dead." You basically fight hoardes of zombies with your touch typing skills.
