Professor Buckingham has authored three pieces of courseware (collectively called CASI) for a very large first year law class. CASI tries to provide a learning matrix in the area of statutory interpretation and has been developed in Hypercard for the Mac and is presently being converted to ToolBook for the PC. The modules are built in such a way that the user is able to pick their own path of exploration, depending on their assessment of their own learning need. In a sense they are able to free range across each module in a manner which fits their own learning style, yet still gain exposure to the models of legal reasoning which they must emulate.

Professor Corcos is developing a multimedia program intended to lead students through an investigation of human rights issues. The program uses proprietary software initially developed at Case Western Reserve University and purchased and marketed by IBM. It leads students through analysis of a human rights problem, helps them spot issues and organize their research, and produces a printed result. The program presently runs under OS/2, but the programmer is developing a Windows version and expert system enhancements.

In my presentation I will try to describe and demonstrate the advantages and difficulties I have found in using electronic networks for law teaching over a period of three years. I start with the premise that networked teaching can be used to support many pedagogical objectives, three of which I will focus on: learning to write/writing to learn; learning through dialogue/feedback; and learning from student peers/teaching student peers. I will outline the various technical strategies I have employed using networks including shared directories and files, email and newsgroups. Comments on networking from students who have been in my classes will be received online, discussed and analyzed. This presentation will be of most value to those who have some experience of using the Internet at an Intermediate level and should be of interest to law faculty, technical staff and librarians.

Learn about the use of electronic casebooks, rather than traditional print material, in substantive law school classes. Learn about the pilot project in which 30 first-year students brought notebook computers to class with 5 out of 7 of their core course curriculum in electronic format. How are print publishers meeting the students' and law schools' needs? Will digital casebooks replace print casebooks? How will the law schools accommodate these students?
