Professor Collaboration in Student Outlining

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | March 06, 2008 - 09:00

What if your professor commented upon your outline, so you would know where you are going wrong before the exam? Professor Steven Friedland of Nova Southeastern University invites his students to post their outlines to the course webpage, where he will comment upon them. (See his post on Best Practices for Legal Education Blog) Students can post outlines anonymously. Prof. Friedland uses Blackboard (Web CT) for his course page, but the same can be accomplished with TWEN or Lexis Course Pages. TWEN, Lexis and WebCT allow access only to students enrolled in the class. Google Docs is another option where access can be restricted to class members.

Engaged Learning for Law

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | March 06, 2008 - 08:51

Engaged Learning is What Makes CSU Special, according to the University’s new marketing campaign. The buzzword itself isn’t unique to CSU, however: The Center for Engaged Learning in the Law (CELL) blog, hosted by Elon University School of Law aims to “contribute to the discourse on teaching and learning in law, from the inspirational to the whimsical, to the mechanical.” Contributors include professors from several universities.

Thanks to the Law Librarian Blog for discovering this resource.
