  • Wearable technologies in libraries - what to expect in the next 5 to 10 years

    Mid-America Association of Law Libraries - Oklahoma City, OK - October 15, 2016

    Computer technology has advanced from mainframes to desktops, then laptops and palmtops and is now moving onto and into the human body by way of wearable computers. The volume of wearable computing devices will grow from under 1 million units in 2014 to 178 million in 2019 dominated by smart glasses and smart watches.
    In this session we will share our findings on how wearables will impact academic libraries and how librarians can adjust their spaces, resources, and their mindsets to these technologies.

    What Law Professors Should Know About No-Code and Low-Code Platforms

    Webinar Description: No-code and low-code platforms can provide robust options despite limited resources. They lower barriers to entry into legal technology and help advance automation and transformation of our legal system. In this session, participants will learn to leverage next-generation applications, empowering law students to build solutions in practice areas they pursue. The speaker will share experiences, using a low-code program to create a state-wide protection order portal and other access to justice solutions.

  • Workshop: Assessment: Anything, Anywhere, Anytime

    SIDLIT Conference 2016 - August 4-6, 2016 - Colleague to Colleague (C2C) – hosted at Johnson County Community College

    One of the challenges of online education is the lack of real-time feedback from students. Being able to evaluate whether the lesson goals are being met is critical to the learning process. JotForm is a web-based form builder that can be used to track and evaluate student progress throughout an entire class rather than just at the end of it. Forms can be easily embedded into existing learning materials and learning management systems. In this workshop, I will demonstrate some of JotForm features suitable for online education and assessment. I will also share with the audience how the UMKC School of Law is using JotForm to assess, engage, and communicate with students. The remaining time will be used for hands-on training on how to build your first interactive forms.
