- 27. key issue: simulation tempo & complexity
- 29. Does the PI project make a good OER? Pros Cons Can be used as a whole or in parts But how to implement? Even with a userguide it can be complicated Complexity of sim-building solved at a stroke Needs time for staff to understand & implement. Also NIH approach…? Can be easily adapted Will the adaptation change the original for the better? All documentation open to staff And to students…? No hidden costs But sims need careful thought re implementation Better educational outcomes … if implementation is well-designed.
- 38. Does the SC initiative make a good OER? Pros Cons Effective, cost-effective educational solution Still requires major upfront commitment of time and resources Complexity of sim-building solved at a stroke Needs time for staff to understand & implement. Less NIH because adapted from another discipline Can be easily adapted Will the adaptation change the original for the better? All documentation open to staff, except scenarios No hidden costs But SCs need regular refreshing and recruiting Better educational outcomes … if implementation is well-conducted.

- Transactional learning is active learning, not passive. In that sense, we want students to be involved in activities within legal actions, rather than standing back from the actions and merely learning about them. transactional learning goes beyond learning about legal actions to learning from legal actions we aim to give them experience of legal transactions. Transactional learning involves thinking about transactions. It includes the ability to rise above detail, and "helicopter" above a transaction; or the ability to disengage oneself from potentially damaging views of the group process, and re-construct that view Students are valuable resources for each other. Collaborative learning breaks down the isolation and alienation of what might be regarded as isolated or cellular learning. There is of course a place for individual learning, silent study, and the like. But students can help each other enormously to understand legal concepts and procedures by discussing issues, reviewing actions in a group, giving peer feedback on work undertaken in the group, and so on. And perhaps what is even more important is that they begin to trust each other to carry out work that is important. In other words, students begin to learn how to leverage knowledge amongst themselves, and to trust each other’s developing professionality (learning about know-who, know-why, as well as know-what within the firm). Often, we have found, if there are firms that are not producing good work or keeping to deadlines, it is because they do not know how to work together effectively; and this often arises from a lack of trust. Transactional learning ought to be based on a more holistic approach. Allowing students to experience the whole transaction- and all the different parts- not just the actual procedure but how this may affect the client and how you may have to report this to the client. Transactional learning of necessity draws upon ethical learning and professional standards. There are many examples of how students have had to face ethical situations within the environment – some are ones where we have created a situation with an ethical issue- others have arisen unexpectedly. E.g mandate example ( if time) 7 & 8: Students are taking part in a sophisticated process that involves taking on the role of a professional lawyer within the confines of the virtual town and firm. In order to enhance the learning experience they must be immersed in the role play- and to do that they must be undertaking authentic tasks. Research suggests that when students are involved with online environment similar to the virtual village- that these authentic settings have the capability to motivate and encourage learner participation by facilitating students ‘willing suspension of disbelief’. This allows them to become immersed in the setting.
