Individualized Education: Using Online Tools and Videos to Reach All Students

Presenter(s): 
Angela Upchurch, Capital University School of Law
Cynthia Ho, Loyola University Chicago School of Law

Students have increasingly diverse educational needs.  As educators, we must meet these needs and prepare our students to enter a demanding and competitive job market.  How do you meet the needs of weaker students while simultaneously challenging the stronger students?  How do you find the time to train students in the most basic legal skills while also preparing them to be "practice ready?"  Drawing upon experience in Civil Procedure classes taught at two different law schools, this session will focus on how to provide students with basic legal skills training (i.e., case briefing and reading; statutory interpretation; outlining; exam writing; etc.) using flipped classroom methodology, online quizzes, Google Hangouts, and online chats.  It will also focus on how to optimize use of classroom time and increase formative assessment and student feedback through flipped classroom methodology, screen video capture to assist feedback and other online tools.  Participants will participate in demonstrations and be provided concrete examples to utilize in their own classes or at their own institutions.
