Description
Wasim Ijaz and co-authors published a research paper in 2024 on teaching dental students through cases over WhatsApp versus in person. Case-based learning is a staple of health training, and phones offer a cheap way to run it. Thirty students at a dental college in Pakistan were split by lot into two groups for a six-week trial.
Both groups scored far better after the course than before it. The gap between the phone group and the in-person group, though, was too small to count. Every student already used the app, and most reached it by phone. The authors say the app works as a teaching tool about as well as meeting face to face.
