For students, 3DTA is virtual resource to organize and understand content. It allows students to preview and reinforce information throughout the module.
Classroom to Lab
Teaching goal is to integrate, as students transition from classroom to simulation lab to clinic.
Completed setups
3DTA § Creates an engaging classroom environment. § Confident students and independent learners
§ Students achieve higher cognitive understanding of content. § In clinic, more time spent on addressing patient care issues.
Troubleshooting § Standardized Laptop/Computer Compatibility Issues § 3DTA only available for Windows § Oracle™ Virtual Box
Innovation Begets Innovation § Currently developing a program to integrate removable complete and partial denture topics on a gaming platform.
