The Impact

As one of the most traditional professions, the practice of law has been slower than most to adapt to technological advances and recognize the impact on the changing nature of work for attorneys. Only two state bar associations currently require continuing legal education in technology. New York's bar association has recommended mandatory training in cybersecurity; however, it would comprise only 1 credit within the Ethics & Professionalism Continuing Legal Education (CLE) requirements. This chapter will explore the negative “domino effect” that disregarding or underestimating the power of technology in both legal education and practice can have on access, diversity, and ultimately justice. By presenting the evidence here, perhaps the profession through its many and varied institutions and organizations can finally turn against the tide of tradition. The profession and its oversight bodies must look farther back in the pathway to practice to re-imagine legal education and embrace that which is now possible through technology and innovative teaching and learning methods.

The Impact

This article queries the notion of impact in studies of teaching and learning located within the field of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Grounded in literature focused on measuring and challenging the impact in SoTL, and primarily on the “what works” question, the author proposes a rubric by which to judge various levels and dimensions of impact achieved in SoTL-focused projects. To operationalize it, the rubric is applied to three completed projects, which while differing in their initial scope and intended outputs were united by a shared goal of improving learning by the means of innovative teaching. By using the rubric to analyze these projects’ outputs, strengths and weaknesses of each project’s design and evaluation methodology are revealed. Diverse levels and dimensions of impact are identified and discussed. The author invites scholars of teaching and learning to use, test, and critique the rubric in the context of their completed or in-progress studies.

The Impact

The promise of Virtual Reality in design environments is to facilitate the interaction with digital models and to enhance the results of design activity. Design education is one of the most recent and interesting applications. Thanks to technological advances in human-computer interfaces, Virtual Reality represents a new way to stimulate design students and to develop innovative teaching methods. The paper explores the impact of Virtual Reality technologies on design learning, with particular attention to mechanical product design. It is focused on the analysis of cognitive and technical aspects of learning processes and the definition of a proper evaluation protocol. The protocol is based on the classification of the most meaningful activities in mechanical engineering teaching and the identification of a set of metrics that enable to objectively evaluate the learning process. Assessing how VR supports design education, an experimental study is proposed. It is based on the comparison of three different approaches performed by two-dimensional drawings, by 3D CAD models and, finally, by virtual reality technologies.

The 20th century legal education system is said to have failedto teach students practical legal skills, critical analysis anddecision-making methods, as it did not give studentssystematic training in effective techniques for learning the lawfrom the experience of the legal practice. At the end of thecentury, a pedagogic method known as the clinical legaleducation was developed which broadens legal education inall of these dimensions. It is important for a member of a lawschool academic to examine this pedagogical approachtowards enhancing students’ knowledge and skills in meetingthe needs of the changing time. Law schools in Malaysia andto some extent in Brunei Darussalam have some or limitedautonomy in introducing Innovative Teaching and Learningmethods into the curriculum design, but no true success couldbe lauded either as difficulties and realities in the study of lawwithin the common law jurisdictional context requires strongcognitive elements before a student could really delve inpractical legal skill exercises. The realities cover two main areasof development: (1) the components of legal studies, and (2)the outcomes of the studies. The difficulties may be associatedwith (1) the governing educational policies; (2) qualificationand quality of students admitted to law school, (3) theexperience of the law teachers; and (4) the learningenvironment. The traditional method could not simply beblamed or ignored, if there ever be a failure in the system, onthe one hand, and the much ushered innovative learningmethods may not necessarily be the success factor, on theother.

The Impact

This study investigated the impact of the digital divide on information literacy (IL) training of Extended Curriculum Programme (ECP) students at the Durban University of Technology (DUT). There are students entering the tertiary education environment in South Africa who have never used the Internet or have little or no knowledge of technology. Hence South African higher education institutions have a heterogeneous mix of both digitally advantaged students and digitally disadvantaged students. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the digital divide on IL training of ECP students at the DUT and to recommend guidelines for teaching and learning of IL that would accommodate both digitally advantaged and digitally disadvantaged students. The sub-objectives of the study were: to identify in what ways the digital divide impacts on the IL training of ECP students; to identify innovative teaching and learning methods to accommodate the diversity of students in the IL classroom; and to recommend guidelines for teaching and learning of IL in the ECP that accommodates the digital divide among participating students. Hence, the three population sets for the study were: DUT ECP students of 2010, Subject Librarians teaching IL to ECP students and the DUT ECP Coordinator. The study employed a mixed method approach in its research design. Data was collected from ECP students by means of a questionnaire, an interview schedule was used to collect data from Subject Librarians involved in teaching of the IL module to ECP students and lastly, a separate interview schedule was used to collect data from the ECP Coordinator. Qualitative data that was collected from the survey questionnaire was analysed using SPSS (Version 18.0) whilst qualitative data collected from the interviews and from the questionnaires was analysed thematically using content analysis. The findings of this study reveal that the digital divide does impact on IL training in ways such as, slowing down the progress of IL lessons; basic computer skills need to be taught in the IL classroom and that disadvantaged students find it difficult to follow online lessons while advantaged students already have the expertise to access online information. Based on these findings the study recommends that computer literacy training precede IL training; that various creative teaching and learning methods, such as, group work, games, online tutorials and interactive websites be incorporated into IL training to accommodate both digitally advantaged and digitally disadvantaged students in the IL classroom.

The Impact

In legal practice, as in other professions, the increasing use of technologies is not new. However, it is generally agreed that the latest round of new technological development, such as AI and big data, has presented, and will continue to present, challenges to the legal profession in a much more profound way. If the legal profession must adapt to technological changes, so must legal education. Technologies in legal education present us with three sets of considerations: the adoption and adaptation of technologies to teaching and learning; the study and research of disruptions and other impacts of technologies in society to assist in formulating legal responses to them; and the preparation of future lawyers.This paper first examines the impact of different technologies on legal practice and responses from the profession. Upon examining the opportunities and challenges brought about by new technologies, the paper will further discuss how legal education, especially its curricula, might respond to changes and challenges. It is argued that, like the way they adapted to globalisation, legal education and legal practice will meet new technological challenges and, as such, there is no reason to believe that there is not a bright future for legal education and the legal profession.
