  • A combination of tests is still being used

    • Pros:

    • Efficient
    • Easy access and use of mobile devices
    • Allow tracking
    • Remote testing

      • Cons:

      • What/which app  is reliable
      • Who is using/trained to use
      • Environment
        • Considerations when deciding on a digital tool
        • Budget
        • Feasibility
        • Is it comprehensive
          • Age range Considerations
