Professional i s s u E s Blended Learning in Orthodontic Diagnosis: An Interactive Approach Jean-Marc Retrouvey, DMD, MSc, FRCD(C); Adam B.A. Finkelstein ABSTRACT Interactive multimedia programs can provide an opportunity for authentic learning both inside and outside the classroom. McGill University designed an interactive Orthodontic Diagnosis program on CD-ROM that has been used successfully in the faculty of dentistry to provide undergraduate students with interactive tutorials and exercises to help them recognize developing malocclusions. Key aspects of this multimedia program are the use of an outside-in approach to diagnosis as well as sound instructional design that provides practice opportunities and feedback to students. The goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the practical skills needed to be a successful dentist. For citation purposes, the electronic version is the definitive version of this article: www.cda-adc.ca/jcda/vol-74/issue-7/645.html The more active students are in the learning process, the greater their learning. 1–6 Active learning environments, such as laboratories, give students an opportunity to practise much of their theoretical knowledge and develop the practical skills they require to be successful in dentistry. In these environments learning must often be allowed to occur at an individual pace, as not all students progress at the same rate. This can be a challenge in face-to-face situations. 7,8 However, computer-assisted instruction can provide unique opportunities for self-directed learning by focusing on interaction, practice and feedback. In the early 2000s, after a careful review of the orthodontic curriculum at McGill University, we decided to incorporate a multimedia, self-directed learning module, Orthodontic Diagnosis, into our curriculum. The main goal in using this approach was to enhance learning by letting students work at their own pace, reviewing the various concepts and practice exercises on their own outside the traditional laboratory environment. An addi- Contact Author Dr. Retrouvey Email: jean-marc. retrouvey@mcgill.ca tional issue we wished to address was frequent complaints from students who had difficulties finding information relevant to their training in conventional textbooks, as these were designed primarily for postgraduate students. In an undergraduate dental curriculum, one of the most important goals of the orthodontic division is to train future dentists to recognize and appreciate the severity of malocclusions. No textbook presents a systematic approach to this aspect of undergraduate training. Delivering content by lecture alone is insufficient as this does not allow for the practice and feedback that is necessary to improve practical skills. 1,6 Design and Development Orthodontic Diagnosis software, comprising several units, was developed by McGill University and Dr. Jean-Marc Retrouvey. Created by a team of instructional designers, the learning modules incorporate important educational tools to allow students to understand the complexities and variability of an orthodontic diagnosis and provide them <strong>JCDA</strong> • www.cda-adc.ca/jcda • September 2008, Vol. 74, No. 7 • 645
