Learning in Cyberspace: Succession Law Online
AbstractThe article discusses the use of on-line facilities to teach a Succession Law class across multiple university campuses. The author explains that a sound teaching program can be offered if on-line tools are used to complement and enhance the course. The starting point for this course was constructivist learning theory, which recognises that students are responsible for their own learning and that teaching design should be student-centred. On-line and traditional design features were used, such as lectures, on-line forums and on-line and real world assessment tasks. The author presents course evaluations data to show students’ positive and negative comments about the course design, and reports that the experience has been largely positive for both students and teacher. |
