Dentsply Sirona recently received a LearnX Live! Diamond Award that recognizes four e-learning courses developed by the company.
The second place award is for “Best E-Learning Design” in the “Shift It Online” category, according to a press release. The four courses recognized were Orthodontics 101; 20/20 Vision on Oral Inflammation; It Takes a Team: CAD/CAM Efficiency; and Maximizing the ROI of your CAD/CAM System with Implants.
All four courses were based on presentations given at the virtual Dentsply Sirona World 2020 conference. They were developed in close collaboration with key opinion leaders, with recordings from the sessions broken down, storyboarded, and turned into interactive courses on Dentsply Sirona Academy.
“It was a fantastic experience working with Dentsply Sirona to bring these courses to life in such an exciting way,” said Dr. Kristine Aadland, who presented the Maximizing the ROI of your CAD/CAM system through Implants course, according to the release. “They turned out great and it’s nice to see my presentation given an extended lifespan beyond Dentsply Sirona World as a unique learning tool.”
Dentsply Sirona is now collaborating with key opinion leaders to deliver courses for next year.
“The past two years have shown that virtual training formats are increasingly demanded by our customers. We really needed to think outside the box last year to continue to offer world-class continuing education in a virtual format,” said Prof. Dr. Rainer Seemann, vice president global clinical research and scientific support at Dentsply Sirona, according to the release. “We are incredibly pleased with how the e-learning pilot project turned out, and that its success has been recognized by the wider industry as well. We now have a unique and award-winning blueprint for e-learning courses in the future.”
