96 Denver Law Review 493 (2019) This Article provides empirical data on the effectiveness of distance education in law schools following the American Bar Association's decision to increase the number of permitted online course credits from fifteen to thirty. Our data, composed of law student surveys and focus groups, reveals not only the success of distance education in legal education, but also the online teaching methods that are most effective for students.

Collaboration and cooperation have become firmly established as teaching methods in face-to-face classes (e.g., Johnson, Johnson, & Smith, 1998). They are also rapidly becoming widespread in online teaching and learning in both hybrid (mixed traditional and online) course and distance courses. The methods are likely to be most effective if they are firmly grounded in how people actually work together. Some groups collaborate more successfully than others. Frequently, instructors may place students into groups in the expectation that they will collaborate without a clear idea of what collaboration is or how to recognize and encourage it. We must define what we mean by the terms, both so that we can use the techniques successfully and so that we can research them accurately.

Frequently, instructors may place students into groups in the expectation that they will collaborate without a clear idea of what collaboration is or how to recognize and encourage it. We must define what we mean by the terms, both so that we can use the techniques successfully and so that we can research them accurately. In addition, we must distinguish between groups in which people act independently from those who act collaboratively. As Surowiecki (2004) has pointed out, when all the results are aggregated, a large number of people acting independently may give a more accurate solution to a problem than an expert. Interdependent groups may often produce results inferior to the results obtained by their best-performing members or may be affected by a “groupthink” mentality.

Resumo:O artigo sustenta a tese da educação pela pesquisa. O texto parte de uma análise da atual realidade do ensino jurídico nacional e verifica que dentre os principais problemas da crise institucional da educação jurídica a política didático-pedadógica desenvolvida pelas Faculdades de Direito é a grande responsável pela continuidade dos desempenhos acadêmicos insatisfatórios. A metodologia do ensino jurídico brasileiro é pautada por métodos e técnicas de ensino que interditam uma aprendizagem de alto impacto e reforçam a reprodução acrítica do conhecimento. O estudo constatou que as instituições de ensino jurídico com elevado padrão de qualidade e máxima eficiência didática estão sustentadas por uma plataforma educacional com fundamento metodológico na educação pela pesquisa. A pesquisa como recurso metodológico de ensino cria uma dimensão educacional altamente produtiva e com níveis de excelência acadêmica.Abstract:The article states the thesis of education by research. The text part of an analysis of the current reality of the national legal education and notes that among the main problems of the institutional crisis of juridical education didactic and pedagogic policy developed by Law Schools as largely responsible for the continuation of unsatisfactory academic performance. The methodology of the Brazilian legal education isguided by teaching methods and techniques to interdict a high-impact learning and reinforce the uncritical reproduction of knowledge. The study found that the legal education institutions with high quality standards and maximum teaching efficiency are supported by an educational platform with methodological foundation in education by research. The research as a methodological resource teaching creates a high productive educational dimension and with levels of academic excellence.

The popularity of the Internet has influenced education profoundly. Teaching methods, teacher–student relationships, and the role of teachers have changed significantly due to changes in communication media. In the case of Chinese language learning, online classes have become a crucial tool to encourage and support international Chinese teaching. With the deepening of China's opening, exchanges between China and other countries are becoming increasingly profound. Against this backdrop, worldwide enthusiasm for learning Chinese has emerged, yet not every foreign learner of Chinese has had the opportunity to attend Chinese lessons and receive systemic training. To give more students the opportunity to study Chinese, online lessons are a viable option for various reasons, from acting as an effective channel for students to learn about both Chinese language and culture to offering classes of both short and long duration, and providing a range of different teaching styles and teaching methods depending on the needs of the students. This paper analyzes teachers and methods after observing many Chinese online teaching videos that have attracted a high “click rate” by users. Moreover, this paper focuses on analyzing MOOC and traditional online lessons published by the Confucius Institute and carries out a comparison between them and overseas online Chinese lessons. Finally, this paper evaluates online Chinese lessons and gives suggestions according to the 5C goals of language teaching.

Vocational education in Taiwan is highly competitive in that it must attract sufficient student enrollment in the environment with a rapidly increasing number of schools. Many students in this context tend to have lower levels of academic achievement, and do not adequately get involved in their schoolwork. Under such constraints but moving toward more practical orientation, the authors conducted five experiments, applying web-mediated problem-based learning (PBL), self-regulated learning (SRL), blended learning (BL), or their combinations to help low-achieving students improve their computing skills. This study further develops appropriate course design and online teaching methods for both teachers and schools. Each of the five studies addressed a different project whose goal was to develop students’ computing skills in online classes. The five studies: (a) provide demonstrations of the effects of web-based PBL and SRL, (b) illustrate how to design and implement web-based PBL and SRL for low-achieving students, (c) provide refined interventions of web-based PBL and SRL based on multiple-phase experiences of real practices and reflections, and (d) demonstrate the effects of BL and the relevant technologies to provide more channels and opportunities for students to review and practice their computing skills.

The Impact

This article addresses the impact of the climate crisis on the mental health of young people in the context of legal education. It reviews the evidence on youth mental health regarding the climate crisis and applies it to what is already known about law student well-being. Drawing on theories of learning design, the article considers a range of pedagogical strategies that law schools can use to engage students who are committed to action on climate change through law. A case study, the Climate Justice Initiative at The University of Queensland School of Law, is presented as one example of what is possible. This article emphasises the significance of a partnership approach to student engagement and contends that this may yield benefits especially in the context of climate change-related legal work. Despite the negative psychological impact of the climate crisis on law students, it concludes that there are practical activities that law schools can and should initiate to support student well-being.

Publishing Workflow

Online teaching in 2020 forced many educators to adopt new teaching methods. Instead of working in the classroom with handout and oral presentations, online teaching requires new teaching materials and documents. These are usually created in different formats with different software and is often redundant. The present paper proposes a research on workflows and practical applications to streamline the publishing process by proposing authoring in a meta data format and publication of convergent teaching material from a single document. The purpose of this research is to improve the quality of education by reduction of redundant workflows in the creation process of teaching materials.
