What is Technology-based Learning

Undergraduate dental education, which is at the forefront of utilizing innovative pedagogies and instructional methods to deliver learning content, saw an unprecedented disruption globally due to the pandemic. This disruption in dental education resulted in limited access to traditional forms of learning content, which relies heavily on face-to-face teaching. An asynchronous mode of delivery was used to support and maintain the continuity of lectures and knowledge exchange. The mainstream method used was through pre-recorded video lectures, using PowerPoint lecture slides hosted on YouTube. This approach worked for maintaining the knowledge transfer continuum; though the creation and distribution of online content was in itself a challenge to dental educators. Thus, the chapter aimed to identify the pitfalls in digital content creation in undergraduate dental education. Furthermore, the chapter highlights the pathways needed to overcome the hindrances of digital content creation both from a pedagogical and technological perspective.
