Teaching

  • Dr. Mattheos designed, directed, delivered and assessed postgraduate
    curricula in Implant Dentistry for different degrees, from short CPD courses,
    blended learning degree programmes (M Clin Dent Impl, Australia) to full time
    three-year intensive residencies (MDS Impl Dent, Hong Kong). His leadership
    has been instrumental in the development of global guidelines for the
    teaching and assessment of Implant Dentistry, having organised 3 Consensus
    Workshops in the teaching and Learning of Implant Dentistry (2 European in
    2008 and 2013 and one Australian 2010), while he has contributed to several
    other international consortia for the improvement of teaching and learning.
    While in the University of Hong Kong (2012-2020) he served as the
    postgraduate Programme Director and clinic Manager of Implant Dentistry,
    which included a 3-year full-time residency programme (MDS) and a 2 year part
    time degree (MSc). His teaching extended to a variety of formats and media,
    from seminars, clinical supervision, problem-based learning, clinical and
    research mentoring, live surgery sessions, case-based learning, on-line
    modules, sim-lab preclinical training and more. His responsibilities as
    curriculum designer and manager have included curriculum and assessment
    design, at all levels and he has served as Associate Dean for Taught
    Postgraduate Education (2015-2017) and Assistant Dean for Undergraduate
    education (2013-14).
    During his tenure at Griffith University in Australia, he designed advanced
    curricula for undergraduate and post graduate education in Implant Dentistry
    through a competitive federal government 2-year grant. He then went on to
    launch and direct Australia’s first Master of Science programme in
    Implant Dentistry (2009-2012).
    He has a profound interest in online learning, having designed and
    evaluated his first online course already in 1998 in collaboration with Malmo
    Univeristy. In 2016 he launched and directed the first Massive Open Online
    Course (MOOC) in Implant Dentistry, after a grant from the University of Hong
    Kong. The MOOC has achieved exceptionally high engagement by all metrics,
    as documented by research [1] published in peer-reviewed journals. In
    addition, the course achieved an extraordinarily high percentage of
    certificate acquisition. The MOOC has as of today enrolled more than 50, 000
    students and received a Honorable Mention in the 2017 Greater China MOOC
    awards among more than 100 contestants in the category of Course Design and
    Quality. He has since then designed and delivered many online courses
    [2] for continous professional development in Dentistry.
    He has received major teaching and learning developments grants in Sweden
    (NSHU 2007), Australia (ALTC 2013) and two Teaching Development Grants for
    the design of a reflective learning platform for the teaching of Implant
    Dentistry (2014) and a 3D-printed and VR simulation for teaching the removal
    of wisdom teeth (2018) in Hong Kong. As Associate Editor for the European
    Journal of Dental Education, he has been widely acknowledged for promoting
    the scholarship of teaching and learning with focus of expertise in the areas
    of on-line education, curriculum development and assessment. He is a member
