Discuss the pros and cons of employing online psychoeducational modules.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: There are multiple questions regarding “cons” of this question. Are there risks in disclosing personal information, and what are the limits of confidentiality? Is the website secure and password-protected? How is the site professionally monitored? Is there a licensure board for a given person’s professional affiliation? Pros for clients participating in online modules such as the THISWAYUP program could include the statement that modules and related instruments have been tested for validity and reliability. Assignments are individualized to an extent. The client has a range of time to complete each module before moving to the next module. The modules may also be cost-effective given the number of clients referred to complete the modules.
