Thank you for joining us for the final session of CALI’s mini-course. We appreciate your participation in this course as it affirms how important this topic is.

Just a few reminders about the materials. After each session we have posted:

  • The video recording
  • The transcript of the recording
  • List of all links the speakers mention
  • Q&As to the speakers with their responses

CALI plans to keep this website up and maintained. Please remember that links to other websites may break, as CALI cannot control other websites.

Let’s keep the conversation going in the Community Discussion Forum. All are welcome to participate. You need to login with your CALI website credentials.  Online teaching, whether 100% online, HyFlex, hybrid, or something else is requiring a seismic shift in how we think about legal education. The Community Forum is an opportunity for collaboration and exploration. Most faculty don’t feel compelled to edit Hawkins v. McGee or Palsgraf for their students, knowing they can use the edited versions in casebooks. Likewise, we hope faculty have used the study groups to find colleagues to share ideas with and for the mutual creation and sharing of teaching materials best suited for the new modes of teaching.

Speaker

Julie Hewitt, PhD, EdS, PMP is the Educational Technology Manager in the Division of Professional Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Hewitt has almost 20 years of experience among higher education, K12 education, and training and development in industry. Her current duties include leadership in the areas of research, assessment, and online faculty development and support. Hewitt is the lead on the Online Faculty Program (OFA) and collaborates with others on the exploration of Open Educational Resources (OER) and affordability. Hewitt’s research interests include faculty development, teaching and learning, course design, and technology. Before her time with UW-Platteville, she served as a part of campus administration as a Dean of Student Services. Hewitt also has experiences in higher education as an Academic Program Director, an online graduate adjunct faculty member, and a face-to-face undergraduate faculty member. Her prior work experiences extend to the corporate world as a business and training systems analyst for a large aerospace company and K-12 public education as a secondary education teacher, coach, and district technology coordinator. Hewitt is a member of the Online Learning Consortium (OLC), the Learning Guild, United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA), and Project Management Institute (PMI).

Learning Outcomes

  1. List learning items besides casebook readings to include in your course (i.e., slide presentations, podcasts, etc.).
  2. List techniques or tools that worked in spring and two new techniques to try.
  3. List three departments or resources at your law school where students can get advice about issues unrelated to your course. Consider some of the social, personal and technical issues this course raised in presentations and in your life. TIP: In addressing this learning outcome, you may want to view Allie Robbins’ CALI lesson, Law School Resources.  This run of the lesson uses LessonLink which allows the faculty member posting the lesson (in this case, Deb) to see your score. The lesson may remind you of resources at your law school.
