One of my goals with the Instruction Spotlight series of posts on CALI Spotlight was to create a list of basic explanations to some of the major educational theories and ideas out there, both to teach myself as well as provide a resource for the CALI user base. Well, as with all of my good ideas, someone has already though
As you may know, one of the projects we work on here at CALI is eLangdell Press, which creates and distributes open law school casebooks. We do this because we believe educational materials should be Open – that is to say, able to be remixed, reused and ideally free.
Due to a near-site killing influx of spammers and other internet ne’er-do-wells using Hotmail, we’ve had to ban all CALI.org accounts that are affiliated with a Hotmail email address. Unfortunately, this will cause a number of legitimate registered CALI.org users to be banned from our system. This is a small percentage of our total users, but still a decent amount of people.

Congratulations to CALI’s own Director of Internet Development Elmer Masters for being named one of the Fastcase 50! Created in 2011, the Fastcase 50 is an annual list of the Top 50 of “law’s smartest most courageous innovators, techies, visio
This collection of 50+ chapters showcases a sampling of academic technology projects underway across the University of Minnesota, projects that we hope inspire other faculty and staff to consider, utilize, or perhaps even develop new solutions that have the potential to make their efforts more responsive, nimble, efficient, effective, and far-reaching. Our hope is to stimulate discussion about what’s possible as well as generate new vision and academic technology direction. The work underway is most certainly innovative, imaginative, creative, collaborative, and dynamic.
First of all, it’s pronounced “GREAT-house”, not “grue-THEW-ee-us”.
