Across the divide: Collaborating through a Sabbatical visit from the University of Manitoba, Canada
King's College London has welcomed the sabbatical visit of Prof Dieter Schönwetter, Director, Educational Resources, Faculty Development, and Dental Computing Services, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Manitoba. Dieter is working with the Centre of Flexible Learning in Dentristry at King's for a period of six months from February 2010 to take a European view on 'Removing the barriers to e-learning' . One important outcome will be the design of a short course to support faculty in e-learning. To facilitate this, Dieter is organising an interactive Plenary Session at the 8th International Innovations Colloquium on May 14th 2010 at Brescia University, Italy.
Quality advanced learning materials
Having to cope with staff shortages in our dental school on the island of Malta, we will benefit considerably from the advantages of being connected to UDENTE. UDENTE, the new virtual dental school will enable us to keep abreast of the latest developments in dental education as well as providing our students with the most advanced learning materials. Delivering the most up to date dental education through UDENTE will also bring us closer to schools that are reputed to be the best at an international level.
Dr. Simon Camilleri
Dean of the Faculty of Dental Surgery, University of Malta
