Description
At center stage, the spotlight is on students conducting “Professional Meetings”. These are students within the asynchronous, online seminar of Drexel University Kline School of Law’s signature co-op program. “Professional Meetings” present an opportunity for them to take on a primary role performed by lawyers. We use “Professional Meetings” as a teaching tool for professional identity development.
In this concurrent session, we will demonstrate how we use interactive technology by way of the VoiceThread platform to teach online externship seminar students the skill of leading “Professional Meetings”:
- We conduct online webinars designed as “Professional Meetings”. These webinars cover a range of topics with interactive video, audio, and text comments.
- For a final group project, we group students that present their own interactive webinars on a topic tied to their practice interest.
- We set aside a single webinar that focuses on “Professional Meetings” within context of the upcoming mid-semester professional meeting scheduled with each student’s supervisor and professor.
- We require that supervisors and students participate in a “Professional Meeting” at the mid-semester.
We invite all attendees of this concurrent session to bring their smart phones or laptops, so that they may engage in the interactive technology during our demonstration. In this way, attendees will learn first-hand what online students experience in preparing to take on the role of a lawyer as a leader in “Professional Meetings”.
