Webinar Description:
This is the first in the summer series of webinars brought to you by the AALS Section on Technology, Law & Legal Education Committee.
The experience of hybrid and online education during the pandemic should prompt us to rethink what happens in the classroom, to take full advantage of an experience of being together that we can no longer take for granted. Online teaching tools permit us to distinguish in our teaching between those interventions that require group interactions in the classroom and those interventions that are directed towards students as individual learners. This webinar describes how to use digital tools to facilitate student study outside of class to prepare students to take full advantage of the affordances of the analog, physical classroom.
