New CALI Lesson Features for '11-'12!

CALI recently released the fifth version of its lesson viewer. You can watch this recorded webcast demoing the new viewer for further information. In addition to a complete makeover, visually, we've added some important features:

  • CALI Lessons work on mobile devices like iPads and iPhones. They will, of course, continue to work on your computer.
  • Student lesson runs and scores will be saved automatically and stored in students' "My Lesson Runs" account profile sections. Students no longer have to actively push a button during a lesson to save their scores.
  • Copy and paste from the lesson will be much easier.
  • Built-in features for faculty are available in the lesson.
  • Lessons will be more compatible with screen-readers for visually-impaired users.

All of that, in addition to the same CALI Lesson content and features:

  • Students love them; they run our lessons over one million times annually.
  • Written by experienced law faculty and law librarians who teach in that subject area.
  • Reviewed by an editorial board of law professors to ensure quality.
  • Multimedia like text, video, audio, flowcharts, graphics, and photos to teach complex areas of law.
  • Short, focused lessons. Faculty like this because they can sequence lessons into syllabi. Students like this because of the relatively short time investment.
  • Hosted on our website, www.cali.org, making them a perfect complement to distance courses or traditional courses.
  • Professors have ability to track students' usage and scores with LessonLink.
  • Students have ability to keep score (ScoreSave) to gauge their progress and even save their scores on the CALI website.
