Abstract

This article discusses teaching and studying radiographic anatomy in a mobile learning environment. In particular, the use of pen-based learning technologies (PLTs) and different pedagogical models as means of designing mobile learning environments are considered. The special aim of the case study described was to analyze the educational benefits and usability of the WebTrace software application, and of a mobile tablet PC with the digital pen. The focus of the research was the radiographic anatomy study module. The objects of the study were 12 dental students. The study combined qualitative and quantitative approaches within an ethnographic research design. The results of the qualitative data are discussed. Data were collected by interviewing dentistry students and using a network-based questionnaire and was analyzed by using content analysis and statistical analyses. This article highlights background of the study and some findings from the mobility viewpoint of the research.
