Quick Learning Design
OrthoTraining courses are designed to help the student learn important concepts quickly. How?
•
Designed to follow neuroscientific principles of learning
o
Students interact with important concepts of online presentations by answering embedded quiz questions in a detailed presentation
o
Correct online feedback is given to the students so that they know if a question has been answered correctly
o
Students are instructed to “sleep” after learning new concepts so the brain can “consolidate” new memory proteins created in the neurons of the brain
o
Students retake the same quiz questions again on a “Knowledge Quiz” after a spaced interval, this time without feedback, to self-assess their understanding and learning of important concepts
o
Students then can review the sections of the online presentation to clarify their learning and then “reconsolidate” memory proteins of these l earned concepts
•
Students learn from clear, accurate online presentations that focus the student’s attention to learn the concepts that are important to know, which minimizes student confusion
•
Reference materials are included in each course such as
o
the script of a course presentation
o
Performance Steps Checklists for performing a procedure in a standardized way
o
Quality Product Checklists for the student to learn to evaluate the quality of a “product” such as recognizing the diagnostic quality of a series of photographs
Teaching Dental Professionals at all skill levels

Training Dentists and Dental Students-Dental Faculty use OrthoTraining courses to teach dentists basic principles of orthodontics so that dentists can provide more comprehensive care for their patients,
Orthodontists who want to give back to the profession or continue to share their knowledge and experience after retirement, can become “Mentors” or “Orthodontic Faculty” without spending hours creating teaching materials. By using OrthoTraining materials, faculty can teach important concepts at the highest level.
OrthoTraining Courses have been approved by the American Dental Association Continuing Education Provider program since 2005. The founding company, International Training Institute, (founded in 1998) is one of the few online training programs to receive a 4-year approval because of the quality of the training that is offered by this institute.
It is easy to become a Certified OrthoTraining Faculty. Simply complete the courses so you know what you are teaching and are “standardized” in the basics. Receive hands-on mentoring from a current certified faculty, and you will be ready to go!
Selecting What You Want To Learn: Your Knowledge Profile
What is your “Knowledge Profile”? Your Knowledge Profile is a list of courses that the Mentor (or the student if there is no Mentor) has selected for the student to learn.
The student completes these courses by learning the content of the courses’ online presentations and by passing the courses’ associated “Knowledge Quizzes” The emphasis of all of the courses is that they are designed so it is easy for the student to learn what is important in the presentation. It should then be easy for the student to pass the associated Knowledge Quiz, reinforcing the student’s learning.
The Knowledge Profiles are separated into 3 main groups of courses as listed below so they may be learned by a group of students under the guidance of one Mentor.
New Patient Orthodontic Exam, Orthodontic Diagnostic Records, and Diagnosis and Treatment Planning Process
Selecting The Amount Of Time You Need To Learn
All of us learn at our own pace:
•
If we have more experience and knowledge in a topic, that usually means we can go faster through the material.
•
If we do not speak the same language as the course material, it will take us longer to learn.
•
If we are really busy, it will take us longer to get a time when we can concentrate without interruption.
•
We have to be ready to learn by being well rested (not sleepy), satiated (not hungry or thirsty), relaxed (not stressed out or unhappy), and in a good mood where we are interested and eager to focus.
Many of us procrastinate getting started because learning is work and we may not be ready to do it. If we know that there is a measurable benefit (like getting a good job or earning money!) then we will get it done. To give you the best cost/benefit advantage, OrthoTraining courses are offered in groups of topics (rather than by course):
•
New Patient Orthodontic Exam, Orthodontic Records, Diagnosis, and Treatment Planning
•
Placement and Management of the Orthodontic Appliance (Braces), and Removal
•
Clear Aligner Therapy (Prerequisite is the New Patient Orthodontic Exam, Orthodontic Records, Diagnosis, and Treatment Planning)
•
Basic Oral Hygiene and Teaching Oral Hygiene (Required for Placement and Management of the Orthodontic Appliance (Braces), and Removal and/or Clear Aligner Therapy)
•
Orthodontic Retention (Required for Placement and Management of the Orthodontic Appliance (Braces), and Removal and/or Clear Aligner Therapy)
•
Training to become a Certified OrthoTraining Mentor/Faculty
Pricing is based on the time you think you need (in 30-day segments) to achieve the level of learning you want:
•
Knowledge Completion Certificates in each course by passing the presentation and Knowledge Quiz
•
Performance Completion Certificate where you have also “clinically performed a procedure at a high level” as evaluated by Steps and Quality checklists under the supervision of your mentor/clinical faculty.
•
Certified OrthoTraining Mentor/Faculty where you have earned all Knowledge Completion Certificates and also earned all Performance Completion Certificates (under the supervision of your Certified OrthoTraining Faculty) so you may teach all OrthoTraining courses for years to come.
