Abstract

From the Article

In spring 2015, we each taught an advanced legal research class piloting6 a screencast as a graded assignment. Here, we describe our reasons for creating this project, how we structured the assignment, how to help students succeed, and some tips to consider if you adopt this kind of assignment. In short, advance planning is the key, but it is well worth the effort given high student engagement and our satisfaction that the assignment met our classes’ core pedagogical goals.
