Enriching Globalization With Low Cost Tech & Social Media: Serving More than One Goal at a Time
The document discusses the challenges facing U.S. law schools due to globalization and the rise of online education, particularly MOOCs, which have led to decreased enrollment and acceptance rates. It highlights the importance of using technology to innovate legal education while balancing the benefits and drawbacks of online learning formats. Professor Michele DeStefano outlines her initiative, LawWithoutWalls, which fosters collaboration between law and business schools to develop 21st-century lawyering skills through a blended learning approach.
