Legal teaching with ICT

DISORIENTED

If you want to integrate  ICT in your legal teaching, what are the simply-cannot-succeed withhout-these- must-knows?

START by applying the following six guidelines:

  1. Align learning goals, learning activities and assessments
  •    Learning goals provide guidance for the learning direction. These goals are derived from needs in the working place.
  •    Learning activities translate information into skill and knowledge.
  •    Assessments provide insurance that learning goals have indeed been achieved.

 

  1. Provide advance information to learners
  •    Learning goals: what will I be able to do?
  •    Learning activities: what will I be doing?
  •    Learning material: what are my references; which media?
  •    Support: do I get suitable support; where can I go with my questions?
  •    Rules and sanctions: what are the do’s and the don’ts?

 

3. Use activating learning activities

  •    We learn most of what we do.
  •    Observe own learning activities.
  •    Draw theoretical conclusions from own activities
  •    Experiment with new learning activities

 

  1. Address differences in learners
  •   Different entry skills and knowledge
  •   Different learning styles

 

  1. Stimulate self-confidence in learners
  •    Provide suitable challenges
  •    Allow suitable practice and provide feedback
  •    Slowly increase level of difficulty

 

  1. Be approachable for learners
  • Diminish physical and psychological distance as much as possible
