ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to identify the use of Instagram both prior to and during an undergraduate oral radiology course at The University of the West Indies and to ascertain the perceived impact of Instagram as an educational tool on the course's teaching and learning.Method:
A private Instagram account was created in 2017 for use in the fourth-year oral radiology course. Subjects included 30 dental students registered for the year long course. One dental radiograph was posted per week with associated questions. A piloted and previously tested questionnaire modified to our study was administered and statistically analyzed.Results:
24 (80%) students completed the research questionnaire. 8 (33%) students indicated that they did not have an Instagram account prior to the study. 14 (61%) students agreed and 9 (39%) students strongly agreed that the radiographic posts and discussions generated throughout the course of the study were helpful.Conclusion:
The findings revealed in this study were that the use of Instagram in the oral radiology course was helpful to the students and most reported that they would enjoy the use of this platform in other courses.
