The 25th annual CALI Conference for Law School Computing, June 18 – 20, 2015 at University of Denver Sturm College of Law is right around the corner. We’ve put together an interesting and diverse schedule that will show off some of the best work being done in the law school information and educational tech spaces. With over 70 presenters giving over 50 sessions and nearly 300 attendees  representing over 90 law schools CALIcon is the best place to learn what’s going on with technology in legal education today.

Not all CALI lessons are linear. To the student they may appear linear and some are in fact linear. But the option to create complex branching questions that allows the student to “choose his own adventure” through responses is available to the lesson’s author.

I recently learned a new phrase “noisy learners”* to describe successful online learners. The same day, I noticed that the lettering for the “L” key on my laptop was wearing away. On the surface these appear to be unrelated events; yet I’d like to explore them both in this post, as there may be a tangential connection.

We don’t talk enough about our accomplishments here at CALI. I believe it is because we are too busy working on the “next thing” and barely pause long enough to get the word out about how other things are going. Technology in legal education is constantly changing, though it does often cycle back around to ideas we’ve had in the past (*cough*, ebooks, distance learning, *cough*).

We’re going to try to change this.
