Postgraduate Dental Education

Projects

Wessex is a very busy deanery - especially with our informatics projects.  This is a small snapshot of what we've been up to recently...

Electronic Professional Development Portfolios

There has been a lot of talk about these in postgraduate dental education circles but as far as we are aware ours is the first in the country to be actually up and running properly. This is based on100% open source software running on MySQL relational database and are written in equally open source PHP programming language. It lives on a Linux/Apache server.

Electronic Log Book This is a private area used by individual VDP and Trainers and overseen by the VT Adviser.
Moodle Courseware This is a group area - but hidden from public view - which details what needs doing week by week. It also includes discussion forums, chat, survey's quizzes etc.

Please contact me editor@garfnet.org.uk if you want log-in details for a demonstration account.

Content Management Systems...

These systems are all based on the open source MySQL relational database and are written in equally open source PHP programming language. Currently they reside on a Linux/Apache server. The Courses Manager and the Nursing CMS are now fully integrated with this site. Their URL's are http://www.wessex.org.uk/dental/courses and http://www.wessex.org.uk/dental/nursing respectively.

You may also view Courses Manager and the Nursing CMS from here. Until we find a better home for them, the SHO Database and Moodle are currently only available from here.
