Learn about collaborating on a joint video assignment to augment your experiential learning class. Although we’re directors of the Externship Program and Entrepreneur's Clinic, we designed video modules that can be used for experiential learning classes, generally. After all, every student can benefit from communicating effectively.
Writing an effective business email is a critical lawyering skill that many students struggle with in their first clinic class or externship placement. Effective Business Writing uses a combination of Google Slide voiceover and green screen effects to create fun and challenging assignments for students participating in an externship or clinic.
The video is structured in four modules, with assignments accompanying each module. We will show the videos, the assignments, and discuss challenges and takeaways in creating the modules. We will also discuss the taxonomy, and summative and formative assessment built into each module.
