Challenges

While technology enhances education, several challenges should be proactively managed:

  • Digital literacy: Gradually introduce technology, ensuring ease of use and providing clear instructions or demonstrations. Provide alternative educational resources for those who are not comfortable using technology.
  • Data security and privacy: Ensure compliance with privacy regulations and transparency about data usage as well as informed consent.
  • Over-reliance: Balance digital interventions with personal interactions to maintain therapeutic rapport.
  • Cost and equity: Offer affordable alternatives or subsidised access to address equity concerns.
