MEMORANDUM 99-39

 

To:                   Deans of Member and Fee-Paid Schools

 

From:              Harry G. Prince

 

Subject:           Request for Status Report on Distance Learning Projects

 

The AALS Committees on Curriculum and Research and Libraries and Technology are exploring the effect of newly developing technologies, including long-distance learning technologies, on the academic programs of law schools, both inside and outside the classroom.  Pursuant to that interest, the committees are requesting that you report on any distance learning projects that your school has implemented during the last two or three years.  The committees would also like to know of any plans for future use. 

 

This information may be sent to my attention and may be reported by e-mail to hgprince@aals.org.  In turn, the committees hope to play a clearinghouse role by letting all schools know of innovations that are taking place in the use of distance learning technology and how those uses can benefit educational programs.

 

Thank you for helping us collect this information.
