I remember that they came up with a fantastic poster that used Spock and Uhura to show ideal and less-than-ideal monitor positioning. As I recall, Spock is hunched over his monitor and Uhura is sitting slightly reclined.

And a nagging, lecturing approach is never the best way to get them to persevere.Nathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-27311551049134119072011-09-13T13:21:56.010-07:002011-09-13T13:21:56.010-07:00Thanks for this one Jeri.
