Learning in Cyberspace

Communications and Information Technology is a participant in new challenges for university education in general and legal education in particular. It is seen as part of both the problem and the solution. On the one hand, C&IT has a key role in the processes of globalization and the transformation of legal practice. On the other hand, it is seen as a solution to problems of resources in university education and changes in approaches to learning. At issue is not merely the mode of delivery of higher education, for example the traditional form of lectures and seminars, but also the entire institutional structure which is affected by ideas such as lifelong learning and global distance learning. Can C&IT provide improvements in legal education to cope with pedagogical, social, cultural and technological changes?
