Aircraft Information Systems
Published in Mike Tooley, Aircraft Digital Electronic and Computer Systems, 2023
Within different types and classes of EFB a wide variety of hardware and software is used. Operating systems can be custom written or based on standard Windows or Linux products; Surface Pro tablets and Apple iPads are also commonly used.
Computer Use
Published in Céline McKeown, Office Ergonomics and Human Factors, 2018
In terms of performance, participants in the study by Werth and Reeves (2014) were able to type almost four times as much on the laptop or netbook than on the tablet. As a consequence of both of these findings, the authors concluded that although tablet/slate computers are suitable for gaming or other entertainment uses, they are not suitable for long-term usage as a device for traditional computer work activities. This has implications for business.

Psychosocial rehabilitation and social skills interventions are often designed to help people with disabilities improve generic social behaviors (Bellack, 2004; Reichow & Volkmar, 2010) such as: expressing positive feelings, listening to others, making requests, and expressing unpleasant feelings. Some of these general interventions can be applied in the workplace to develop more specific social skills related to work (Hedley et al., 2017). Interventions for workers with disabilities are increasingly being developed using new technologies (Burke et al., 2013; Cullen et al., 2017; Gentry et al., 2012; Hill et al., 2013). Technologies such as tablets used in multiple studies are appealing for people with cognitive disabilities (e.g., ability to repeat tasks and easily correct errors) (Benton et al., 2012). Tablets are also easy to use and present multiple benefits including portability, customization, accessibility, and affordability (Hong et al., 2017). Tablet-based interventions can be accessible to people with disabilities and they have already proven their relevance in research conducted with people with ASD (see Muñoz et al., 2012).
