The purpose of the poster session was to showcase how University of Maryland University College is currently using online simulations to enrich digital classrooms where students work in virtual laboratories. At the conference, Julie and Towanda presented the Teleologic's San Luis Rey Homeland Security Exercise, Course Development and Design's Crime Scene game and OPNET'S IT Guru networking lab exercises through a flash kiosk learning object (http://pola...

The Millenials are a generation comfortable with utilizing technology for a variety of daily tasks from reading textbooks to viewing online lectures to communicating with cell phones. We know that additional preparation by the student produces effective dental appointments for the patient and the student. We know, through the use of technology, knowledge can be predictably and uniformly transferred to students. Since the clinical environment is a fast and dynamic setting, there is a need to have a certain materials that are created and can be utilized and viewed using devices that are mobile. Having a mobile device allows for an opportunity to engage the learner and is not dictated by the physical boundaries that may be present. Mobile development is distinct...

This issue could be solved by incorporating haptic technology into the dental curriculum, which would also enhance the precision of assessing student performance. Haptic technology has created a new era by providing the capability of touching and feeling within simulation- based environments. Haptic devices enable users to feel what they are visualizing on a graphical interface. By incorporating the user’s sense of touch, more immersive virtual environments can be developed that closely match the real world. As hands-on training can compromise patients, virtual environments, with haptic feedback, are suitable environments for training people for tasks requiring hand-eye coordination such as plastic surgery and dental operative procedures. The feedback that is obtained with haptic devices enables the user to judge the ...

Students from the classes of 2009 (seniors) and 2010 (juniors) completed a pre-test (2009 N = 93, 79 percent of the class; 2010 N = 105, 85 percent) and an unannounced post-test six months later (2009 N = 46, 40 percent; 2010 N = 102, 83 percent). Multiple-choice items were used to test student knowledge, and a Likert scale was used to assess perceived knowledge and confidence (1 = low to 5 = high). The students also assessed the degree of helpfulness of the different TPDat sections. Juniors' knowledge about information in the TPDat was significantly higher at the post-test (11.9 + or - 1.6) than the pre-test (11.0 + or - 1.9, ...
