Computer‐Assisted Learning in Occupational Therapy

Computer‐assisted learning has application at all levels of occupational therapy education and in the educational roles which occupational therapists accept with respect to clients, the community and allied health professionals. In this paper, recent applications of computer‐assisted learning in undergraduate allied health professional education are outlined, along with some exciting, plausible applications of this technological medium to occupational therapy. The need for caution in embarking on the use of the medium, and the importance of cooperation amongst computer‐assisted learning experts, educationalists, the profession and health professionals, particularly in computer‐assisted learning production and research endeavours, is justified.
