title: [The computer in education. Applications in dentistry].
abstract: During the last decade an increased interest in Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) and Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) can be observed among teachers and students in dental education. Both CMI and CAL can be used to manage individualized instruction, to assist students in specific scientific tasks and to master or enhance knowledge and skills. In balancing the pros and cons against each other, it was concluded that CAL should preferably be developed by joint efforts of collaborating Dental Colleges. It is expected that new developments in authoring systems and hardware will encourage the development of courseware.
