This document discusses challenges in legal education and opportunities for innovation through new pedagogical strategies and learning technologies. It notes that many students do not significantly improve their learning in early college, and questions whether MOOCs truly revolutionize higher education given their one-size-fits-all approach. The document advocates connecting learning across networks and considering strategies like connectivism and rhizomatic learning. It also discusses opportunities to leverage big data, learning analytics, and new media to improve course design, content strategies, and learning experiences at scale through virtual and blended approaches.

to learn something is to be able to convert information stored in
the expanding external symbolic storages of our social memory into
something that is new, interesting and consequential for
a practice or an issue.
The implications of such a metaphorical construction of learning
will have to be worked out within the educational system and its
instructional practices. It does not follow from a mere
introduction of new technologies.
