Evaluation of a computer-assisted learning programme on the oro-facial signs of child physical abuse (non-accidental injury) by general dental practitioners

Teaching periodontal pocket charting to dental students: a comparison of computer assisted learning and traditional tutorials

“…1,2,3 There have been a number of attempts at more objective assessment of computer assisted learning. Lechner et al 4 used a protracted CAL programme in place of a series of lectures to teach removable partial denture design.…”

Diagnosing abuse: a systematic review of torn frenum and other intra-oral injuries

“…Even 12 years later, a survey of 250 dentists, 157 of whom responded, showed that 50% of dentists had suspected abuse but one third did not refer the case,42 and similar reluctance has recently been documented in the UK where 21% of dentists did not refer cases they suspected of having been abused 43. There have been a number of initiatives in the United States to tackle this issue,44 45 and Welbury et al have developed a computer-assisted learning programme for general dental practitioners in the United Kingdom,46 and the British Dental Council have recently published guidance 47…”

Post-impact evaluation of an e-learning cross-infection control CD-ROM provided to all general dental practitioners in England

“…This appears to be typical for dental educa tion CD-ROMS or computer assisted learning programmes of this type. [9][10][11] Negative comments in relation to the CD-ROM were com paratively rare, and mainly related to typestyle and layout, use of online learning for CPD and distribution failures. Conse quently, it may be that in developing future CD-ROMs, further thought needs to be given to the suitability of typestyles and layouts for practitioners with learning difficulties such as dys lexia.…”
