This workshop will focus on how technology can make one of the hardest, most dreaded subjects in the curriculum, exciting, engaging and comprehensible to students. It will demonstrate the online tools teachers can use to communicate both the significance of property law and its practical operation to students. It will show how teachers can move away from traditional, case-based teaching, with exclusive focus on doctrine, and create activity-based courses that present a holistic, real-world picture of property practice. Skills learned will be transferrable to other traditionally doctrinally-heavy courses. The workshop will cover building Moodle sites, Smart Sparrow ‘games’, lightboard presentations, animations and visual tools like Instagram. Dr Sherry’s own Moodle site won a Lexis Nexis Innovation Award in 2015.
