It offers students and educators a revolutionary, 3D interactive learning experience to facilitate learning in a unique and non-traditional way.<\/p>\n<p>The user-friendly technology offers extensive 3D anatomic models, video clips, and interactive images along with self-assessment quizzes and games that test student knowledge. The technology is delivered to the student through Virtual Reality glasses, the computer screen, and on their mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>Our talented faculty witnessed a strong connection between learning something and also experiencing what has been learned. Artificial intelligence is a resource that allows for an experience to be created while learning simultaneously. The technology creates a lasting memory for the students because there are multiple sensory inputs, such as sight, sound and touch, being utilized when the student is hands-on with the software.<\/p>\n<p>The instructor can engage the class by utilizing Virtual Reality glasses to display anatomical features and information, in what seems like &#8220;right before the student\u2019s eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Together, these features allow the dental hygiene students to take their newfound knowledge and successfully apply it to clinical application.<\/p>\n<p>Dental Hygiene is &#8220;all in&#8221; to continue to implement AI in our curriculum as it has shown to be a valuable resource for students learning complex and abstract subject areas.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dental Hygiene Faculty and Students Embrace a Virtual Classroom\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/521051696?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:25:27 +0000 by\u00a0t.conway<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This past fall, the Department of Dental Hygiene piloted incorporating artificial intelligence into the dental hygiene curriculum for freshmen&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-accolades"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15725\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
