Ergonomic Issues for Classroom Computing

The use of computers in schools and the classroom continues to grow. When schools invest in computers, they pay attention to the network infrastructure, the technology and software, but typically the ergonomic design of student workstations is ignored. The comfort and safety of adult computer users in workplace settings has received a great deal of attention in the past decade. Recent research indicates that the comfort and safety of child computer users may be at risk given the configuration of the majority of the workstations at which computers are used. The paper will review the latest research on ergonomics issues associated with classroom computer use, outline some of the potential risks and discuss the general issue of appropriate ergonomic design of computer workstations for school-aged children.
