A Hebrew version is now available of the Japan Human Factors and Ergonomics Society’s (JES) 13-page booklet, “Seven Practical Tips for Teleworking/Home-Learning using Tablet/Smartphone Devices.” The booklet was edited and translated by Joan S. Geiger, University of Haifa, President of the Israeli Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (IHFEA) and Eyal Levi, IHFEA. As explained in the introduction, the society conducted a survey of its full members who work at educational institutions, and “found that less than 40% of respondents were aware of the appropriate ergonomics to be followed when teleworking or attending online meetings and about how to improve the indoor working environment.” As a result, an expert panel of JES council members created action-oriented tips for individuals working and learning at home. The Hebrew translation, published by IEA Press is downloadable here.
