Book Description: This open education resource aims to enable occupational therapists (OTs) and teachers to enhance ergonomic practices for upper primary school students while using Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) devices in school and home contexts.

The materials presented in this open education resource have been developed through the hard work and dedication of a small group of final year occupational therapy students at James Cook University, Australia. As a part of their professional honours major, the student authors set out to create a dynamic, engaging and informative learning resource about this emerging topic that is relevant to occupational therapy professional practice. The freely available resource is designed to offer introductory content on this topic and has been developed under expert academic supervision.
