Have you ever thought about what kind of learner you are? Under which circumstances do you acquire information the quickest and how do you retain it? 

We all know that when it comes to gaining new skills and taking on board new concepts, we each have a style of learning that suits us best and allows us to learn most effectively. Just as some people prefer to start work at 5am and others would rather study late into the night, we all have ways of learning that help us pick things up more easily!

Broadly speaking, there are said to be three main types of learners: visual learners, who tend to have an easier time processing information they can see and read; auditory learners, who learn more easily through listening and speaking; and kinesthetic learners, who like practical activities. 

Many people also find that they retain information more easily when their learning combines all three styles. 

Whatever your preferences, we have a DSD course to suit you because they include combinations of audiovisual presentations, hands-on workshops and interactive lectures. Bottom line, DSD can meet your education needs regardless of your ideal learning style, in your ideal space, at your chosen pace and in your own time. 

Where does DSD Online Education fit in?

Did you know that as well as our in-person courses, we also have a dedicated online learning platform? 

Here at DSD, we want all new and existing members to implement DSD simply and efficiently in their own dental clinics. We want the concepts to become second nature! One of the best ways to do this is through online learning.

And, since learning online can be done at your own pace and in your own way – among many other benefits – it’s actually a style that appeals to all types of learners. For example, on DSD Online Education our learning materials include:

👉 Bite-sized video content from Residency 1 to explain the DSD concepts and workflows

👉 Valuable visuals and subtitles to reinforce the audio

👉 Extra resource links and articles to help you go more in depth with your learning

Why choose DSD Online Education?

There are so many reasons why DSD Online Education is a valuable resource to get familiar with DSD.

1. You can learn the concepts for the first time

Online Education is a structured, in-depth and accessible way to learn about the DSD concepts and workflows all in one place, so it’s a fantastic entry point and ideal for those who are completely new to DSD. It will give you all the knowledge you need or a solid foundation if you go on to attend a Residency 1 in the future.

2. You can learn them for the second, third or fourth time!

It’s not just for new learners though; our Online Education platform is also ideal if you want to refresh your knowledge. Residency 1 attendees often tell us that no matter how many times they attend, they learn something new at every course. 

Why not use Online Education to help you really get to grips with the concepts? You’ll have full access to everything you learned at your Residency 1 as well as additional videos and certification tests to really validate your knowledge of the concepts and processes.

3. You can learn in your own space

One of the biggest benefits of DSD Online Education is accessibility! When you sign up, you’ll have full access to all the content from the device and location of your choice. This means that you can watch the videos whenever and wherever you are with no need to travel or dedicate extended blocks of time to learning.

Whether you’re a 5am studier or commute podcaster, whenever you have a few minutes to spare, you can do some quick learning. Watch or rewatch a quick video on your commute to work or at the office in between patients.

4. You can learn at your own pace

With DSD Online Education, your learning is completely guided by you. With full access to all the content for as long as you choose, you can rewatch the videos as many times as you want to fully take the learnings on board. And whenever you need a refresher on a term or a concept, the videos will be right there waiting.

5. You can easily and effectively train your team

It’s not just you that will benefit from Online Education; subscribing to the platform is a fantastic way to get your whole team on board and transfer some of that enthusiasm you brought home from your Residency 1.

For you as a dentist or clinic owner, this is an affordable way to introduce your whole team to the DSD Concept with in-office training sessions or having them learn online whenever and wherever they want to. It’s a great option to teach them the workflows and concepts needed to deliver an exceptional patient experience and remarkable esthetic results.

It is also great foundational learning before they attend a DSD Coordinators course, a Residency program, or have a DSD Consultancy right in your own office.

6. You can fully immerse yourself in DSD 

In-person Residency programs aren’t the only way to throw yourself into DSD! With all our video learning available to you at the touch of a button, you can immerse yourself in DSD whenever and wherever you want to. Learn, repeat, assimilate.
