eLangdell Home
eLangdell enables law teachers to share teaching materials with peers and assemble course packs for students quickly and easily.
eLangdell offers an open commons where professors create great teaching resources in collaboration with each other. Like Wikipedia, another type of commons, eLangdell encourages participants to contribute great materials, build on each others' work, and get appropriate credit for their own contributions. And, also like Wikipedia, eLangdell will feature powerful peer networks to ensure that materials are high quality.
eLangdell will unlock the publishing process for professors. The existing casebook publishing model requires authors to complete their textbooks before they can publish them -- preventing professors from sharing great materials with each other. And we know the materials are out there: each semester, professors spend thousands of hours choosing and collating materials to supplement traditional casebooks. With eLangdell, professors can share chapters, redacted cases, even case summaries or hypothetical problems.
eLangdell will support any open publishing format -- from traditional paper to next-generation e-books. Our primary focus is on how authors and teachers can work together more effectively and efficiently. We believe eLangdell will spur innovation in teaching and reward professors for creating excellent educational materials.
