Så påverkar digitala medier lärande och undervisning

English summary Digital media in dental education 116-119. Thanks to its recent development, information and communication technology (ICT) has estab-lished itself as a tool to promote learning and teaching in dentistry, as in many other fields. Learning materials have become more varied, and communications networks and mobile applications make learning environments accessible virtually everywhere, allowing a wider choice of time and place of study than before. Digital environments also provide good conditions for simulated dental procedures in addition to traditional manikin training. ICT creates opportunities for evaluation of the quality of teaching with the aid of electronic feedback systems, as well as for transparency of evaluation and real-time documentation of clinical treatment training. Digital media give dentists an opportunity to acquire information as a complementary part of their daily work. Digital media also promote life-long continued learning, which improves patient safety and fulfils patients' right to best possible treatment.
