Keith:

 

We include them in all of our business law courses as an extra resource.  We include a button on the course websites that we have for every course (we use eCollege - like Blackboard).  That way, only registered, current students can access the lessons.  Under that button is a link and instructions to every CALI lesson.  

 

We use it as an optional course enhancement.   Each professor may or may not choose to use one of the lessons, but we find that students use them to reinforce concepts where they are having trouble.  Some professors pull relevant lessons up and go through them like powerpoints in class.

 

One word of warning - the lessons are of varying quality - and you should warn students of that fact beforehand.  On the whole, it is worth the few dollars it costs to add lots of extra substance to the courses.   

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

	ALSBers,



	 



	Has anyone used the CALI materials www.cali.org <http://www.cali.org/>  for your business law or legal environment courses? I know they are prepared primarily for law school courses so I am wondering if they are at the appropriate level for undergraduates.



	 



	Thanks for any info you might have to offer.



	 



	Keith



	 



	PS: I understand that a site license is $250 per year plus a $2 per student
