We at the Law Society (Bar Admission Course and Continuing
Legal Education) are into CAI (computer-assisted instruction)
in a fairly big way, with a number of courses in place for our
students and lawyers. We're looking at expanding and getting
into new techniques for teaching law through CAI, including
simulations. We may want assistance from companies or consultants
who have experience in this field, since there's a lot of legwork
involved in instructional design and programming (we have no
problem coming up with the legal experts).
We've had preliminary discussions with one company, Interactive
Image Technologies (IIT - Joe Koenig), that is interested in doing
such development work for us. I've also spoken with Brent Wallace
of Niagara College, who has a company called Interactive Computer
Technologies. I'd be interested in hearing from others in this
field who would like to get involved with our work. Also, if you
have heard about or worked with either of the above companies I'd
appreciate your views on them.
Incidentally, anything we develop will be in C and run under UNIX,
as our present software does, and will be hardware-independent.
