- Abstract
Background: The use of online videoconference in dental education has been reported but it has not been used during a whole term in a synchronic class. Purpose: To establish acceptance of synchronic online videoconference as a teaching method by postdoctoral students of the Department of Orthodontics at Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Bogotá campus. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. The sample (n = 64; n = 62) consisted of students who in the mid-2012 studied with videoconference at least one semester and no more than four terms of the dentofacial deformities course. Those students who did not want to respond the survey, those who were not available to answer it, or those who failed one of the courses were excluded from the sample. Results: In descending order of importance, the students strongly agreed with the following factors that assessed the acceptance of the method: Professor's attitude, 85.5%; possibility to obtain answers to their questions as being in a traditional classroom, 82.3%; ability to be attentive and involved during the videoconference, 67.7%; and ability to ask questions as being face to face, 64.5%. 54.1% of the students strongly agreed with the affirmation that the synchronic online videoconference is an effective learning tool. Only 27.9% strongly agreed responding that they preferred the traditional face to face learning.
