Description

This poster presentation will be a short video clip where I talk about how we can engage students more and leverage the opportunities we have when teaching from home on line, by using interactive components in our classes. In my Civil Procedure class this spring I had family members act out certain concepts, pretend to be one of the parties in a case, and join a class meeting in the role of a judge. For legal writing, we can engage people in and out of our homes through the use of video platforms (Zoom, WebEx, etc.). We can pull in participants to role play more easily when it's on line, and we can not only have fun, but also engage our students. I will show how we can pull in lawyers, judges, and many others to role play how a case might be assigned and how a fact pattern can be made more relatable.
