Session synopsis: 

Are you ready to experience the future of teaching and learning in dentistry using advanced technologies?

 

Immersify Education utilises Augmented Reality, Gamification, Personalisation and Expert Content in one application: the Immersify Dental App.

Join Immersify Education to discover how they are supporting teaching and learning through AR, accessible technology, 3D visuals and interactivity. Their Immersify Dental App is an engaging resource for the modern student, that can be utilised anywhere, anytime on smartphones and tablets.

They will present the Immersify Dental App from a dental student and academic perspective to highlight the benefits of the elements within the application; these include topics, lessons, interactive practicals and visual multiple-choice quizzes. Immersify will demonstrate the different aspects of their resources in sessions led by three academics and two dentistry students who recount their experiences using the Immersify Dental app and expand on their research in Augmented Reality, Gamification, Personalisation and importance of Standardised and Expert Content in dental education. 

To conclude this, they will be sharing statistics and feedback from users which they have received from several dental schools and how their educational resources have impacted dental education during the Covid-19 pandemic.
