“…Distance education with which students are satisfied is also gradually gaining prevalence . In fact, some schools of dental hygiene have commenced using computer technology in education, which is also recognized as being beneficial for students . Going and studying abroad is not the only way to teach international programmes.…”

We found that Japanese dental hygiene students and educators have positive interest in international programmes. However, they have concerns about their English skills and about the cost of studying it. Therefore, English classes need to be improved, and new approaches are required for lowering the cost of teaching international programmes, while stimulating foreign students' and educators' interest in studying abroad in Japan.

“…This tool allows educators who are not computer specialists to create simulation-based medical and dental learning modules. 20,21 The scenario utilised for the CAL modules was based on a clinical case that was treated in the dental hospital of the university in Tokyo. Both the CAL module and the VL module dealt with the same case study.…”

Introduction: Insufficient educational resources on sports dentistry result in varying lecture implementations across dental schools, which cause knowledge gaps amongst students. Thus, a new interactive sports dentistry-related computer-assisted learning (CAL) module was created to facilitate dental school undergraduate students' education. This study compared the CAL module's learning effectiveness with conventional video lectures (VL) and assessed its effectiveness when used over several years at a university, and examined its validation in different university contexts, and students' perceptions.Materials and Methods: Participants were 305 fifth-year students. Students from a university in Tokyo participated for 3 years and those from a university in Saitama for 1 year. In each year, the students were divided into two groups-CAL and VL. They studied their assigned modules in 20-min lessons. A written test was administered to determine their knowledge acquisition levels, along with a questionnaire.Results: Two hundred sixty-two consenting participants were included in the statistical analysis. The CAL groups' test scores at both schools were significantly higher than the VL groups' every year (p < .001). Furthermore, test results from all years revealed no gender differences or repetition of the school years at either school. Most students at both universities evaluated the CAL module as excellent. Conclusion:The interactive CAL module generated consistently strong results over multiple years, during which it was used by a diverse group of students at two universities. The students highly rated the module's learning process as well as its contents.

“…7 Most e-learning materials can only be accessed on a personal computer (PC). [8][9][10] However, some studies have shown that young people prefer to use their smartphones to access the Internet, 11 which means that they use smartphones as information devices more than PCs. In fact, 99.4% of Japanese adults in their 20s possess a smartphone, 12 and this rate is also increasing in other many countries.…”

Abstract: The present results suggest that the students became conscious of their lack of knowledge through SLMs. These findings indicate that SLMs for practicing basic clinical procedures is beneficial.
