DANIELLE CONWAY-JONES was selected as a CALI Trademark Fellow for 2003-2004. She will be one of a team of five faculty members from across the country who will engage in the CALI Fellowships Project, a multi-year applied research effort to create computer-based learning materials in legal education. Both the process and the product will benefit faculty and CALI member institutions. The resulting materials receive internal review from the fellowship team and peer review from the CALI Editorial Board, and are published to law schools as part of the CALI Library of Materials. The goal of the project is to create a high-quality pool of electronic teaching materials for faculty to supplement their courses or locally customize for specific instructional goals, while providing an opportunity to explore computer-mediated/distance learning in legal education. CALI Trademark Fellows will receive focused training, extensive support and encouragement, and be provided software to create computer-based instructional materials that can be delivered via the Internet from the CALI website, from law school faculty web course pages or run from student PCs.
