title: The Internet in dentistry--bringing world class education to your home.
abstract: The Internet can provide far greater levels of interactivity and therefore the potential for a greatly improved learning experience when compared with traditional educational media. As an educational medium, interactive streaming video over the internet has the potential to improve standards of dental health and contribute to the development of more universal standards of dental care around the world. The Virtual Auditorium format uses streaming video, audio and presentation of single PowerPoint or dual projection PowerPoint or 35mm slides to allow users to view an entire lecture presentation on their computer screens. The Virtual Auditorium as an alternative means of seeing keynote speakers from major dental meetings, is gaining in popularity and may soon be a standard facility linked to major international conferences.
