Benefits for dental schools

UDENTE can help dental schools by facilitating the delivery of quality dental education at the same time as securing value for money. It does this by providing:

• Specialist learning materials - globally distributable learning in areas where there are limited numbers of highly trained staff including: oral radiology; anatomy of head and neck; basic pathology; human disease and oral medicine. For more information see the section on e-content.
• Support for different learning methods – support for a wide range of e-learning, blended learning and innovative educational capabilities.
• Access via a single interface - seamless integration of a variety of existing technological systems, thus creating a single interface access system.
• Student performance data - data on student performance and teaching activities that will monitor and inform curricular change in addition to providing evidence for areas of national interest or concern.
• Optimum utilisation of teachers and resources - by freeing them up from repetitive tasks and unnecessary travel.
• Innovative new technologies - that enrich the student experience such as mobile technologies at the chairside and the development of haptics (virtual reality).
• Access to the latest learning resources - enhancement of the student learning experience by providing ongoing access to the latest learning resources.
• Global prestige - from continued leadership in dental educational innovation.
