Implementation of a multi-environment learning/teaching platform to improve the dental education quality

Abstract:

Nowadays, due to the constant advance of information and communication technologies (ICTs), a new society, whose main characteristic is to globalize access to information, is being deployed. Thus, ICTs are present in all aspects of everyday life, allowing anyone to obtain content of interest at any time. In this sense, education is not alien to this reality, so new paradigms of learning/teaching are unfolding. On the one hand, students are motivated to become knowledge producers, offering learning environments equipped with tools and resources according to their preferences. On the other hand, teachers are encouraged to improve the quality of their teaching, giving work environments provided with statistical analysis tools that allow to measure student progress. For these reasons, this paper proposes the development of a multi-environment learning/teaching platform based on ICTs, aimed at improving the educational experience of students and teachers.
