“Legal Education Commons” now online

I wanted to let you know about a new CALI resource that may be of interest to your blog readers called the Legal Education Commons (http://www.cali.org/lec).
   

This link should give you some more info:  http://www.cali.org/index.php?fuseaction=pages.news#212

The Legal Education Commons (LEC) is the place to find and share legal education materials including syllabi, podcasts, presentations, and more. Faculty and librarians from CALI member schools can upload materials under a Creative Commons license that allows colleagues and students to find and use the materials.

The LEC also offers access to over 700,000 federal court opinions from the public.resource.org collection. As with other resources in the eLangdell system, these cases can be re-edited and incorporated into course materials.   

Really, LEC is the first step toward the completion of another CALI project with which you and some of your readers may be somewhat familiar: eLangdell (http://www.cali.org/elangdell).
