1. Teaching law online — Diverse images

• Linking classrooms using high bandwidth video conferencing technology
  (see John Mayer's videoconferencing piece at the CODEC Web site)
• Webcasting
  (for a sense of what this might mean for a law course see any one of the 2004 Conference sessions and for prevalence of this approach to CLE do a search on the WestLegalEdcenter for programs in a field of interest)
• Concord's approach - studio production
  (Concord's site furnishes potential students a sample Concord lecture clip)
• Streaming audio linked to Web pages
  (e.g., Learning about ... Social Security)

2. The potential value of distance methods in classroom-based courses

• ABA Standards
  (Interpretation 306-3 of Standard 306)

3. Identifying candidates for a multi-media presentation

• Teacher-focused criteria
• Student-focused criteria

4. Short is beautiful with distance learning modules

• Need not teach to the clock
• Breaking material up into shorter modules

5. Audio versus video

• The dubious added value of seeing a talking law head
  (Exhibit 1 | Exhibit 2 - Is anything lost by taking your eyes off the screen?)
• The numerous costs of video, including some that are hidden
• Bandwidth
• The comparative ease of self-production

6. Saving video for limited purposes (and a future day)

• Courses and situations calling for video
  (a brief video clip illustrating the original broad reach of the phrase "Social Security")
• What this tutorial undertakes
