Abstract

The opinions of students, the very people receiving and benefitting from teaching, are essential in considering the implementation of any evolutionary teaching method. Advancing in any specialised field relies heavily upon obtaining experience through continuous evaluated practice. Haptics in Technology Enhanced Learning (hapTEL) moves beyond the traditional 'one size fits all' educational model; it allows for limitless practice and constant evaluation of progress with the opportunity to self-evaluate, therefore addressing many issues faced by dental students today.
