Dear Colleague,
It is my pleasure to welcome you again to Brescia for the 14th International (Anglo-Italian) Colloquium
that will take place on 28th April – 1st May 2016 in Salò, on the shores of Lake Garda. This year continues
our successful collaboration with all our friends from across the globe. We think of the 14 years of
collaboration with the theme of “Great Minds think Alike: Ingenious Collaboration”.
My faculty and students are always looking forward to meeting you at Hotel Bellerive where the owner
Mr. Rossi and his staff are waiting to warmly welcome you all again. This Hotel and La Vigna are on the
shores of Lake Garda with a pleasant stroll into the beautiful lakeside town of Salò.
On Thursday afternoon, we have the very popular ‘ice-breaker’ art appreciation session which will this
year be called ‘Love on the Lake’. This will have the Italian flavour of the romantic lake, and is led by our
Resident Artist, Jen Wright. She will be supported by Rosemary Coates in lasting memory of our dearly
departed friend, Paola Ferroni. No artistic talent is needed! In the evening, our Dental Companion friends
will host another much contested charity team quiz, with cheese and wine. All are welcome.
On Friday we have the Plenary session at the Brescia Medical and Dental School as usual, with the
commemorative Paola Ferroni and Bruce Elson lectures given by William Hart (Curtin University) and
Dieter Schönwetter University of Manitoba), respectively. The Gala dinner will follow in the evening at the
Hotel Bellerive with another gourmet food experience. On Saturday afternoon, we will have the
opportunity to visit a new Museum Experience in Salò the MuSa (Museo di Salò) followed by an Ice Cream
Factory in Toscolano, where reducing sugar is an important aspect. In the evening you are free to wander
into Salò and enjoy meeting your friends and have more ice cream.
The Brescia Dental School is looking forward to meeting you soon. Please do not hesitate to contact me
for any further information ([email protected]).
Sincerely,

Biography: Jenny Wright website: jenwright-art.com Currently a PhD student at the University of the Arts London, I am studying the role of drawing and medical practice and haptic technologies. My research work involves collaborative practice with surgeons, dentists, medical students and scientists. This work has included exploring the haptic nature of drawing and drawing like activities in fine art practice and within the field of surgery and medical education. The research has also involved studies into the use and development of virtual learning systems as both a tool for learning and for data capture and collection. This has included work with the EYESI ophthalmic simulator at Moorfields hospital and work at Kings College Dental Institute using the hapTEL virtual learning system. My research is centred on fine art drawing practice. Drawings are made both as a reflection and response to the haptic nature of maxillofacial and dental surgery and are being developed for postdoctoral study in ophthalmic disease processes and treatment regimes. Experimentation using surgical tools and different perceptual modes, supports and surfaces also forms part of the research. Combining mark-making practices, gesture and tool use with information from observed medical practices is leading to the development of practical activities. This has been devised to support students’ motor learning and cognition of specific surgical procedures using both conventional and virtual techniques. Together with being the honorary artist at Moorfields Hospital London I have also been visiting examiner on the Anatomy for Artists course at University College London. I hold a teaching position at selective academy school in the UK and regularly give presentations and workshops to graduate and postgraduate art students, as well as to medical professionals and patients.

Plenary Keynote Address Abstracts
Keynote: The Paola Ferroni Lecture - Prof William Hart “On Lumpers and Splitters” Professor William Hart, Dean of Medicine, Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia
Apologies to medical geneticist Victor McKusick (1969) and Charles Darwin)
“I’d collaborate with my clones, because I’m a team player who wants all the credit.” Jarod Kintz (2011)
This talk is about leadership and collaboration and the role of a leader in a collaborative enterprise. The challenges associated with establishing a major neuroscience research collaboration; two new medical schools and other examples of major organisational change and development will illustrate some real-life issues around collaboration in education and health care.
We will explore how leadership style relates to collaboration and how personality affects leadership style and collaboration. There are many different theories and classifications of both personality and leadership. But in general, can we learn to use our own traits to advantage? Are we able to recognise, modulate or modify our behaviour to enable better collaboration?
Some people and some organisations are most comfortable remaining within their own “silo” - running their own race or competing with the rest (“splitters”). Others see the value of bringing people – or organisations – together for a bigger game (“lumpers”).
Not everyone sees things the same way. Neitzche once wrote that a person chooses a philosophy which suits their personality. And so it is with leadership. For some of us, fostering collaboration requires extra emotional energy. It seems so much easier to do everything yourself – but only if everything you do is “small beer” (something of little consequence). Big outcomes require collaborative teams. Leadership style and fostering collaboration: different types of people are good at different things. Facilitating collaboration is a special form of leadership which requires mutual trust. Before there can be trust we must generate some faith: faith that the collaborators are genuine in their pursuit of a shared goal, for the sake of the goal, not just for their own sake. This is not the same as “servant leadership” where the focus is providing benefit to your team members. Here the focus is on the goal or the outcome, not the people per-se. It is a type of “horizontal collectivism”: - all in together.
“The best leaders may remain unknown by the people. And when the work is done, and the aim fulfilled, people will say: “we did it ourselves”. LaoTze C6th. BC
I’ll conclude by seeking your advice on engaging with two unwilling organisational partners to enable equitable access to clinical training places for medical students.
Biography: Professor William Hart is the Foundation Dean of the new Curtin Medical School at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. Trained as a medical psychologist and public health physician, he has worked in leadership positions in academia, government and the private sector. During his forty year medical career, William has led both successful and failed organisational development projects requiring internal and external collaboration.
Professor Paola Ferroni sadly died on 7th November 2014 following a tragic cycle accident in Perth. She is remembered for her years of unfailing contribution to the Anglo-Italian Collaboration and more latterly for her hugely successful ‘Art on the Lake’ ice-breaker sessions. Paola developed and led the Centre for International Health, at Curtin University, Perth, Australia, from 2000-2010. She also held an Adjunct Professorial position in International Health and teaches in Norway at Oslo University College. Professor Ferroni had been working in international settings for 20 years developing teaching programs and supervising student research in various countries including Indonesia, Vietnam, South Africa, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Bangladesh. Her eclectic
practice is well reflected by her professional background as Professor Ferroni held degrees in Sociology, Health Sciences, and a PhD in Epidemiology from the Australian National University (ANU).

Keynote: The Bruce Elson Lecture - Prof Dieter Schönwetter Ingenious Collaboration: Beyond the Technician Prof Dieter Schönwetter, Associate Dean Academic, Director of Educational Resources and Faculty Development, College of Dentistry, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Canada
Abstract: In this interactive presentation, we will the differences between the technician and the genius, capture the qualities that unleash the genius capabilities within each of us, especially as we work alongside others to find our fullest potentials and opportunities to take dental education to newer vistas. Participants will be challenged to focus on purposively and meaningfully developing ingenious collaborations to new heights.
Biography Dieter Schönwetter enjoys learning with his students, playing with innovative teaching technology, developing new teaching strategies with his colleagues, and sharing teaching ideas with peers from around the world. In his day job, he is a Director of Educational Resources and Faculty Development in the College of Dentistry, Faculty of Health Sciences, at the University of Manitoba, and can be found chasing owls in the great prairies of Manitoba. He was trained to be passionate by gypsies in southwestern Germany, is qualified to be indomitable by biking in the coldest weather in Manitoba, and is accomplished as a world traveller with his family. Dieter has many stories to tell. Bruce Elson was an engineer and entrepreneur from Birmingham City University, UK, who
enlightened our lives and the Colloquium since its inception. He sadly passed away in 2014 after a long illness borne bravely. He always called Italy “God’s Country”, and was a major part of the success of the award winning hapTEL project (Haptics in Technology Enhanced Learning). Bruce had supported the fusion of technology and education throughout his career so it was not surprising that dentistry, engineering and education came together under his array of expertise. He was well respected internationally for his networking, knowledge and innovation. As a pioneer his legendary conviviality and joviality maximized the success of cutting edge collaborative projects.

Since the MirandaNet international professional organisation was founded in 1992 the members have been experimenting with ways of using digital spaces for learning that extend opportunities of meeting face to face. Since the Middle Ages professionals have gathered together to learn face to face: trade guilds were established that are still in existence today. Professionals are still motivated to pursue knowledge for personal or professional reasons as a means of improving social inclusion, citizenship, personal development and a sense of self, interestingly not necessarily involving work skills. These informal personal learning networks (PLNs) are made up of the people with whom a learner interacts and from whom they gain knowledge. This concept of PLN is related to the theory of connectivism developed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes (2005) where learners create connections and develop a network that contributes to their professional development and knowledge - they do not have to know or meet these people personally. Now, professionals have access to the technologies that support such communication and knowledge exchange digital spaces that can be linked to the information management systems, Virtual Learning Environment (VLEs) and Learning Platforms that include both personal spaces and various social media features using computer-mediated tools that allow people to create, share or exchange information, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and networks. In
11
this presentation we will discuss the findings from research conducted by MirandaNet Fellows into Specialist Online courses (SPOCS), Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) and Community Online Open Courses (COOCs) that are becoming familiar to professionals. We will discuss the benefits and the drawbacks an d consider whether these new digital services increase the opportunities for knowledge creation meeting or are a hinderance to the collaborative potential of great minds.

Introduction from Prof Ken Eaton
3.1 An investigation into making an intra-operative clinical decision to excise a further deep margin in non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and tumour clearance rates
N. Axiotis1, C. Newlands1, P.A.Reynolds2
1Oral and Maxillofacial Department, Royal Surrey County Hospital, UK, 2 King's College London Background Incomplete tumour clearance, particularly at the deep margin, is an important risk factor for recurrence following surgical excision of skin cancer. Surgeons may opt to take a separate cuff of deep tissue to ensure marginal control. This is an intra-operative technique which relies on the clinical acumen and experience of the surgeon. Aim To analyse the accuracy of intra-operative judgment and investigate whether removal of extra deep tissue can improve the rate of complete excision. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical records from two groups of NMSC patients. The test group was without a separate deep margin, as these resections were clinically judged to be clear at the time of resection. The study group had a separate deep margin taken at the time of resection, as the margin was felt to be close or involved. All 130 patients who attended the Royal Surrey County Hospital between 2008 and 2015 who had separate deep margin excision were included in the test group. 130 patients who did not have this additional procedure formed the control group. Results: Test group: 77% (n=100) patients had clear deep margins, 21% (n=27) had close margins and 2% (n=3) had involved deep margins. Study group: 45% (n=58) patients had clear deep margins, 39% (n=51) had close deep margins and 16% (n=21) had involved deep margins. The clearance gained by further deep margin resection in the study group meant that 100% of patients in this group were rendered tumour free with no need for further surgery. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that in the groups studied, for a significant proportion of cases, intra-operative suspicion of deep margin involvement predicted histologically positive or close deep margins. In these cases resection of a further deep margin significantly improved tumour clearance rates. 3.2 Retrospective investigation into the clinical practice of Botulinum Toxin Type-A injections in patients treated at the Royal Surrey County Hospital Oral and Maxillofacial Department Bernardo J1., Reynolds PA2.

Background Botulinum toxin (BTX) is a neurotoxin that can be used as a medicine. The therapeutic use of BTX has expanded over the last 30 years and has been shown to be useful in many conditions, especially those caused by muscle over-activity. A new range of applications have been supported by encouraging reports. However, many of these are anecdotal observations and provide insufficient or conflicting clinical data in terms of BTX formulations and evidence. Currently, there are no guidelines for the use of BTX in head and neck conditions. Aim To investigate the clinical applications of Botulinum toxin type-A (BTX-A) in patients treated in the Oral and Maxillofacial Department Royal Surrey County Hospital (RSCH) and compare patient reported efficacy of treatment with contemporaneous literature, in order to identify potential areas for improvement in local practice. Methods Retrospective study of all 69 patients treated with BTX-A at the RSCH over a three-year period (2011-2014). Data collected included condition treated with BTX-A, patient demographics, dose injected, targeted muscles, review and reapplication intervals, efficacy of treatment provided and reported complications. The records of 16 patients who failed to attend review appointment were excluded from the results due to insufficient clinical information. R&D and ethical approval were obtained. Results BTX-A was used for the management of the following conditions: myofacial temporomandibular disorder (TMD) (n.34), gustatory sweating (n.6), sialorrhoea (n.5), facial nerve paralysis (n.4), bruxism (n.3) and blepharospasm (n.1). The mean age of patients varied from 38 to 49 years for all conditions, except for sialorrhoea, 11 years. The ratio of female to male was 5:1.6. BTX-A doses varied between 15U-100U per target area, with reported complications associated to those treated with higher dosage. The review time ranged from one to six months. Significant improvement of symptoms was reported for all conditions treated with BTX-A. Of 34 patients treated for myofacial TMD, 5 reported no improvement and 3 reported partial improvement after the first treatment. One patient treated for sialorrhoea also reported no improvement. Conclusion The study suggests a therapeutic role for BTX-A in head and neck conditions. It also identifies the need of guidelines and protocols implementation to reduce complications associated with treatment.
4. Poster Presentation: An Evaluation of a Serious Game in Dental Public Health: How do students from different learning cultures perform?
Sipiyaruk K 1,2, Gallagher JE 1, Hatzipanagos S 3, Reynolds PA 1 1 Dental Institute, King’s College London, UK 2 Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, Thailand 3 King’s Learning Institute, King’s College London, UK Background GRAPHIC-III(i), a serious game for dental public health, has been used by final year dental students at King’s College London, UK and Mahidol University, Thailand. A previous study
14
showed learning gains from the game. In this study, we were interested in exploring whether students from different cultures performed differently. Aim To explore how students performed with GRAPHIC-III(i) including aspects of usability and engagement with the game.
Methods Gaming activities were automatically logged by the game engine, and a feedback questionnaire was provided to each student after completing the game. Afterwards, to enhance our understanding, focus group interviews were performed with tutors from both institutions.
Ethical Approval had been obtained from Biomedical Sciences, Dentistry, Medicine and Natural & Mathematical Sciences Research Ethics Subcommittee (BDM RESC), King’s College London (KCL) College Research Ethics Committees (CREC), application number BDM/14/15-27 on 15th December 2014 and from Faculty of Dentistry/Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University, Institutional Review Board (MU-DT/PY-IRB), COA.No.MU-DT/PY-IRB 2015/002.1901 on 19th January 2015.
Results and Discussion 92 Mahidol (80.70%) and 82 King’s students (55.41%) participated in the study and completed the game tasks. There was a statistically significant difference (p≤0.001) in the numbers of submission attempts between Mahidol (Mean=12.46; SD=14.74) and King’s students (Mean=7.17; SD=10.67). The questionnaires were completed by 97 Mahidol (85.09%) and 86 King’s students (58.11%). 58.8% of Mahidol and 65.1% of King’s students thought that the navigation was clear and easy to follow. In addition, 44.3% of Mahidol (34.0% neither agreed nor disagreed) and 62.8% of King’s students agreed that the user interface was simple to use and clear. Interestingly, only 7.2% of Mahidol and 31.4% of King’s students agreed that they enjoyed using GRAPHIC, as the game format and design put emphasis on completing tasks rather than edutainment, i.e. they felt GRAPHIC was not like a game, as it consisted of compulsory tasks. Both students and tutors suggested that game features (animations, e.g. or character walking around the town) should be included. Moreover, the students had different views towards the level of difficulty; 55.9% of King’s students thought that the game content had the right level of difficulty; however, the percentage was smaller (15.4%) for the Mahidol students.
The data regarding the level of difficulty were concurrent to the number of submission attempts as the Mahidol students felt the game was too difficult, since they needed to use more submission attempts to succeed, compared to the King’s students. One interpretation might be that Mahidol students are familiar with passive learning styles, while GRAPHIC provided a self-directed learning approach.
Conclusion GRAPHIC-III(i) showed potential to be an international learning tool, as students from both institutions could improve their knowledge with positive perceptions towards both navigation and usability. However, the game needed improvements to be more interesting and engaging. Finally, to adjust the level of difficulty, guidance should be included to support students with more specific feedback or clues.
Acknowledgement The authors would like to sincerely thank Dr Eunan O’Neill for his contribution to the development of the original GRAPHIC concept.

1. Get smart with the smartphones – using student's phones for easy sharing of knowledge and thoughts: An active workshop Chair: Gila Levi-Atzmon, Or Yehuda College, Israel Rapporteur: Barry Quinn, King’s College London Mobile Learning is changing the landscape of learning, making it more accessible and personalized (Horizon report, 2015). In mobile devices we refer to laptops, notebooks, tablets and smartphones (a cell phone with internet access). In higher education, many students are entering the classroom with their own devices, which they use to connect to the institution's networks. This practice of people bringing their own mobile devices to the learning or work environment is called Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Campuses across the world embrace the BYOD practice and BYOD was noticed in the 2015 Horizon report for higher education, as one-year or less tome to adaptation. In addition to cost issues, this phenomenon reflect the contemporary lifestyle and way of working. Among US college students, eight in ten (86%) college students in 2015 regularly use a smartphone. 92% of the students have access to Wi-Fi at the college (Pearson survey, 2015). Personal access to the internet from mobile devices is elementary today. Increased availability of wireless internet make it possible to connect our mobile devices such as laptops, tablets and cellular phones to the internet almost everywhere. Combining mobile devices and wireless internet, opens the door for Mobile Learning. "Today people expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want" (Horizon report, 2012, p.4). Higher education adopt today a more active learning experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. Educators are leveraging technologies such as tablets and smartphones, which students already use, to connect the curriculum with constructive learning. Mobile devices create opportunities for interaction, provided opportunities for collaboration, as well as allowed students to engage in content creation and communication using social media and Web 2.0 tools with the assistance of constant connectivity (Gikas & Grant, 2013). At the ICT & Learning MA Program of the College of Academic Studies Or Yehuda, Israel, we use the student's smartphones as an integral part of our teaching. From the pedagogical point-of-view, we use the smartphones in class to get the whole class involved and encourage everyone sharing their thoughts. With over 80 students in class, these activities allows everyone to participate. All the applications which we use in the classroom are shelf products - free, accessible and user-friendly, and we use them for team-building, brain-storming, questionnaires, knowledge assessment, surveys, quizzes, learning games and many more learning activities. In our active workshop I would like to share my experience with you and invite you to use your smartphone and try few applications that are often use in our classes and may be relevant to every course. Aims:
1. Introduce the rational of Mobile Learning and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) practice. 2. Demonstrate how smartphones are used in large classes to easily share knowledge and thoughts. 3. Present free and use-friendly applications that are relevant to every course. 4. Invite participants to share their knowledge and thoughts using their own smartphones – an
active experience.

Colloquium
Drawing Together: Building
Memories, Having Fun
22
Building on the very successful workshop / ice breaking session from last year we will continue making images with a wide range of materials, which will be auctioned during the Gala Meal. This year you are invited to bring along a small object that has a special meaning for you. It could be a picture of a special occasion, a flower from your garden, your favourite hat, anything that has a special memory for you. Don’t worry you won’t have to tell us the reason behind your choice, you are just going to use it to inspire your work… We will also be bringing along some lovely things for you to draw if you prefer to get inspiration from natural objects Objectives This workshop is intended to be a positive, affirming, fun experience, using objects as sources of inspiration. Examples of drawings from around the world will be used to show how pictures can be made and developed that tell a story of love, hope and joy. Participants may choose to record an object with a variety of drawing materials and can develop images with ideas from memories or as a record of observable features. “Finished” images may be exhibited during the Gala Evening and will be for sale with proceeds going to support Anglo Italian Colloquium activities. Materials
❖ Drawing pencils ❖ Water colour pencils ❖ Graphite sticks ❖ Felt tips ❖ Water pots and brushes ❖ A4 and A5 Cartridge and sugar paper ❖ Shells, seeds and flowers ❖ Glue, mounting boards and frames
Activity Participants will be introduced to the session with examples of work from students around the world, sharing ideas and memories. They will be given an opportunity to try out some of the drawing materials on A5 paper before recording a chosen object, and will be encouraged to make experimental marks and use colour as appropriate. The activity will begin at 14.30 and end at 16.30 Diagrams, poems, sketches, abstract pieces are all welcome as a response to the objects.
