Online e-Discovery Instruction in Law School Is Now a Reality

18 May 2010 — Ralph Losey has designed and created an online class for law school on the subject of electronic discovery. It is a three-credit course, entirely online, named Introduction to Electronic Discovery.  The students can take this course from anywhere, and can do so asynchronously.

At present, the course is offered by the University of Florida, Levin College of Law, and is only open to U.F. law students. This is the first online course the U.F. law school has ever offered on any subject except for Legal Research. Ralph Has written extensively about the high effectiveness of online instruction, especially in graduate level programs (see, for instance, his article Why Online Education Will Surpass Traditional Face-to-Face Education in the Next 5-10 Years).  And it is in keeping with other posts on Ralph’s site regarding e-discovery and the challenge to U.S. law schools.
