“… 21 Digital teaching applications are being built on new concepts such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and gamification. 22 Instant messaging (IM) is increasingly being incorporated into educational settings, primarily as a communication tool. 23 A study of first-year biomedical science students found that those who used Twitter as a means to communicate with staff and peers concerning course content received significantly higher semester grades than those who did not.…”

Objective Mobile Multimedia Platforms (MMPs) are prolific tools that can be used by individuals and corporations to share content. However, few studies have shown the effectiveness of MMPs as educational tools. Through this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of MMPs in improving basic dental diagnostic skills. In addition, we captured student feedback on the use of MMPs in a dental curriculum. Method In this voluntary interventional study on 89 senior dental students, we created pilot learning modules through an MMP called Instagram Stories to teach dental diagnosis. We evaluated the efficacy of the modules through diagnostic tests that were given to dental students who were close to graduating. Results The students showed a significant increase in diagnostic test scores from 49% to 73% ( p < 0.05) after the use of an MMP. Furthermore, the students' feedback on the MMP indicated that most students found it easy and enjoyable to use. Conclusion Our study data show that MMPs may be used to improve training in basic dental diagnostic skills and can serve as an adjunct teaching tool. Moreover, MMP modules can potentially enrich professional education in developing countries where access to educational resources is limited.

Purpose This paper aims to show that the use of technological tools such as augmented reality (AR) and its integration in the education system through gamification offers better learning results when compared with traditional education. Design/methodology/approach Through the implementation of the Leap Motion Controller in English classes of the first and third grades at the I.E.D. Técnico Industrial de Tocancipá, the authors compared the appropriation of topics in groups that received the class in the traditional way and groups that were introduced to the Leap Motion Controller as a pedagogical tool. A statistical and comparative analysis was performed on the results obtained for each group. Findings It was concluded that the use of technological tools has a positive impact in terms of educational performance and learning, giving better results than traditional education; in addition, students showed great empathy with the AR tool. On the other hand, there were limitations to just having a Leap Motion Controller device, which prevented the student experience was even more didactic; based on this, for future research, factors such as the size of the population and the amount of available resources will be taken into account to achieve better results. Originality/value The importance of this paper lies in the little research that has been done in Colombia regarding the introduction of AR and other emerging technologies as pedagogical tools, turning the present findings into a base to go deeper into the field and to prove that it is possible to introduce successfully this type of technology in the education.
