Benefits for the dental profession
As a non-profit making organisation UDENTE benefits the dental profession by promoting worldwide learning through sharing the latest knowledge and research in the field. It also:
- Addresses the needs of increasing numbers of dental students learning in a modern and global society.
- Meets the Dental Schools' academic needs by creating a new learning platform development to enhance a customised and a holistic learning capability.
- Enables the schools of the worldwide dental professions to integrate through its IT blueprint and in so doing help develop their IT capabilities into the 21st century or create them where none exist. Dental schools can also contribute to UDENTE content.
- Facilitates educational and technological research (e.g. impact of mobile technologies).
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.
