The addition of the online classroom in dental education, has many opportunities. Now that many dental schools can return to a more normal method of instruction, dental educators might have some choices for their classroom structure. The authors hope that faculty can utilize any of the new adjuncts or skills acclimated during the pandemic, such as distance learning, to compliment their existing dental education curriculum. This workshop will provide dental educators strategies to implement distance learning in one or more of their courses, thus adding variety and value. A refreshing tool that can support adult learning theory in dental education.

Identify a course, or section of a course, that supports successful implementation of distance education.
