4. Introduction
The hapTEL project has been developing and evaluating a virtual dental work-station since July 2007
Since 2011 we have been investigating the relationship between students’ clinical skills and drawing

7. Method Interdisciplinary Phase
Year 1 cohort n=130, investigated relationship between computer drilling skills logs and drawing journal
Initial drawing task was drawing a ceramic tooth which the student could not see but only touch
2 week period to visually record images of the ceramic tooth in their journal

9. Study Design (Large scale trials)

10. Examples of assessment techniques

11. Ceramic object for ‘blind drawing’ 5 x 3 x2 cms
J E 2012 ‘blind drawing’ pencil on paper 30 x 21 cms

12. Postgraduate Trial study:MA Drawing students exploring and recording ceramic object

13. Kings College Dental students exploring and recording ceramic object

14. Dental student journal drawings using conventional drawing materials

15. Close observational drawing using sight and touch together with experimental investigation

16. Recording using non conventional drawing materials

20. Initial drawing performance comparison

21. Results
The preliminary analysis from the journals with comparison to the computer log files indicate a correlation between certain drawing styles and the virtual clinical performance in hapTEL

22. Implications for Teaching
The results of the study are a practical example of a pedagogical strategy that could incorporate TEL methods into under/postgraduate programmes in Dentistry, Surgery and other related fields
