Posted By John Ridd Not enough info, I'm afraid. It (the risk)depends on so many things, e.g.: what type of keyboard? (small but with socket to plug in palm top, fold up, full size, on screen); then there are questions re: time using keyboard, where and on what sort of surface (I've seen people trying to use these on their laps - not pretty). Can they use on screen material until at desk when data can be downloaded to PC? Whatever the conditions there is (in my view) likely to be an increased risk from use of these machines if any significant text entry is required. That said, I believe there will be increasing use of these machines that will run assessment programmes (and I have seen prototype systems).
