A curriculum that encourages technology advancement and use will include such devices in the classroom and clinical settings mobile devices tablet computers handheld computers smartphones and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
To teach with technology allows the use of devices to support clinical decision making and connect learning by allowing easy access to an array of information online in the classroom or clinical setting.
Self direct learning allows the student to learn at his/her own pace based on their learning style and abilities. This reduces time spent learning to use a specific equipment in the clinical setting instead the individual is able to practice beforehand and is able to seek assistance during the learning process.
