Shifting the balance between teaching and learning: integrating assessment into the dynamic classroom

Contract Law

• Teams negotiate towards settlement posting their claims or defence against the claim on VLE
• Tutor e-moderates the discussion, responding with comments, questions and sources for further investigation.
• Finally, each group presents the legal basis for their claim or defence to the class which is tutor assessed with peer feedback.
• Students’ individual mark depends on peer assessment of group contribution.

• Student teams ‘become’ partners in a law firm.
• 3 weeks working on contract cases – each team representing one side in the dispute
