To enable dental health professionals working in the field to complete their degrees at a distance, the Department of Dental Hygiene transferred a total of 6 courses online. We began by designing and developing DH 422- Health Information and Policy for online delivery. This course reflects the team approach common in public health. Written as a “choose your own adventure”, learners work together to address oral health issues in a specific community.
