Enhancing the face-to-face experience of students
Now that so much time, money and intellectual expertise has been invested in delivering the world’s first virtual dental school, I would like to see as many schools across the world benefit from it. The potential is enormous for collaborative learning by sharing knowledge and expertise in these new exciting learning environments. These new developments are designed to enhance the face-to-face experience of students at the chairside in a blended and media rich approach.
