Professor Zanglein will discuss a variety of easy-to-implement ideas for integration of computer technology into skills and writing classes. She has taught an advanced contract drafting course using Folio Views and is in the process of converting the class materials to a web site with a discussion group. Student assignments are edited in class on a computer projection screen. She has also used Powerpoint and web-based instruction in her Negotiation class and will discuss INSPIRE which allows students to negotiate by e-mail with other students throughout the world. She will discuss the use of web sites to bring "real life" examples to corporate, environmental, and employee benefits courses.
Professor Slagle will describe and demonstrate his use of the Web, Internet, email and chat technology in his Trial Practice Course. The next offering of the course will require the students to use an electronic casebook, Views and CALI exercises to test their understanding of the case book materials. In opposition to some stereotypes, Professor Slagle is a "graybeard who is a believer!"
