Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are changing the way people develop their lives. This change is not indifferent to activities involved in education. For this reason, several learning techniques, based on ICTs, appear to improve the efficiency of the educational process. However, the problem of a maintained individualized learning arises, which does not focus on needs of the student, since it only tries to transmit knowledge. From the point of view of Odontology, students have specific requirements, which allow them to emulate real situations as part of their university training. Therefore, it is necessary that different learning techniques are integrated into a single educational model, known as holistic education. This paper proposes a holistic learning platform, known as DentaLAV, focused on improving the study experiences of university odontology students.
