The landscape of dental education is undergoing a paradigm shift from both the learner's and teacher's perspectives. Evolving technologies, including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality, are providing synergistic opportunities to create new and exciting educational platforms. The evolution of these platforms will likely play a significant role in dental education. This is especially true in the wake of calamities like the COVID-19 pandemic during which educational activities had to be shutdown or moved online. This experience demonstrated that it is prudent to develop curricula that are both agile and efficient via creating hybrid courses that provide effective learning experiences regardless of the mode of delivery. Although there is growing interest in incorporating technology into dental education, there are few examples of how to actually manage the implementation of technology into the curriculum. In this paper, we provide a road map for incorporating technology into the dental curriculum to create agility and discuss challenges and possible solutions.
从学习者和教师的角度来看,牙科教育的格局正在经历一场范式转变。包括人工智能、虚拟现实、增强现实和混合现实在内的不断发展的技术,正在提供协同机会,以创建新的、令人兴奋的教育平台。这些平台的发展可能会在牙科教育中发挥重要作用。在诸如COVID-19大流行这样的灾难之后尤其如此,在此期间教育活动不得不关闭或转移到线上。这种经历表明,通过创建混合课程来开发既灵活又高效的课程是明智的,无论授课方式如何,混合课程都能提供有效的学习体验。尽管将技术融入牙科教育的兴趣日益浓厚,但关于如何实际管理技术在课程中的实施却鲜有实例。在本文中,我们提供了一个将技术融入牙科课程以实现灵活性的路线图,并讨论了挑战和可能的解决方案。
