Emergent educational designs and distributed autonomous organisations
Kate Galloway has posted on the digital revolution and the legal curriculum, and her piece warrants discussion. From her conclusion: I believe it possible to develop an ‘immersion’ law curriculum using digital literacies as an organising context.

WG Hart, session 3
First up, Wes Pue, highly engaging session on Professional innovation in three frontier towns: Toronto, 1820, Birmingham, 1860, Winnipeg, 1920.

Parallel session 1
I attended Alex Roy (LSB), and Prof Rob Wilson (Warwick U, LETR consultant) on Identifying and Developing the Future Workforce. Alex kicked off: large number of firms, mostly small (2-4 partners — over 20% of the workforce re solicitors, much larger proportion of law firms in E+W), few large firms. Turnover looks like the internet…
