Unit 3 Voiceover

Each student has individual needs and attributes meaning that there will be a unique combination of personal, environmental, and occupational factors (outlined in Unit 2) that contribute to their ergonomic outcomes. Therefore, these will be referred to as contributing factors within this unit. These factors interact and influence each student differently and can lead to a variety of poor implications while using BYOD devices in school and home settings.

The physical, psychosocial, and cognitive implications discussed in this unit are not exhaustive due to the complex nature and variability of each student. For assistance in preventing and managing these implications from impacting students’ health and performance, recommendations and resources have been provided in Unit 4. However, if the implications of poor ergonomics are significantly affecting students’ health and wellbeing, it may be beneficial for them to seek assistance from healthcare professionals.
