| Sumario: | The use of new methods in the teaching process may enable better learning of more complex content. In Orthodontics, cephalometric analysis demands time and a high student/professor ratio in undergraduate Dentistry. Digital tools facilitate this process, providing autonomy for students over their own learning. This paper reports the development of a digital booklet for knowledge in cephalometry in an undergraduate Dentistry course. The setting was the discipline of Pediatric Clinic III in the Dentistry course of a private university, where printed material on the subject was used. Using information and communication technologies available for education, the material was developed as part of a Professional Master of Science program in Dentistry in partnership with the Center for Application in Information Technology and in association with a public university. The process was designed in five stages: analysis of scientific material for scripting; work drafting; design construction; interactivity; and publication/availability. Typographic elements with text and images, color and interactivity were included to facilitate quick viewing and browsing, as well as a formatting layout for access mainly using smartphones. This digital tool, as a collaborative resource for in-person and distance learning, will contribute to the teaching-learning process in a more playful and innovative manner, thereby favoring increasing the students' protagonism over their own learning. |
