Selecting & Using CALI Lessons in Your Courses

Speaker(s): 
Deb Quentel, Sandy Placzek, James Smith, Mary Lowe

CALI has over 965 lessons spanning 35 areas of the law. Deciding which lessons to incorporate into your course can be challenging. For example, in core subject areas, CALI has more than 50 lessons. Not all can or should be assigned. CALI has several tools, such as casebook correlation tables and a subject outline designed to help you with these decisions. Beyond that, however, how do faculty decide which lesson will best compliment their learning objectives for any course?

Yes, You Can! - Offering a Law Practice Tech Course at Your Law School

Speaker(s): 
Doug Edmunds

Three years after getting the course proposal approved by our academic affairs committee, we were finally able to teach LAW431 - Law Practice Technologies, an upper-level 2-credit course, this spring at UNC Law. In the course, we covered a broad range of topics including cloud computing and ethics opinions surrounding lawyers' use of such; eDiscovery; virtual lawyering; courtroom technology; mobile apps; social media marketing and more. It has been a blast to teach the class and the students seem highly engaged.

Speaker(s): 
Rich McCue

Are new educational technologies more effective in helping students achieve learning objectives than the old technology they replace? How IT professionals implement educational technologies, and how instructors use the technology can mean the difference between no impact on student achievement, and higher grades with more engaged students.
