About Hugh McGuire
I often run across interesting ways that faculty can and do use technology in their courses – law faculty and others – and I decided to collect them all in one place for the benefit of law faculty seeking interesting ideas. Some ideas are more substantive than others, and they all require some small effort to implement, but I hope you find something useful in the list.
