Law and Mind Science, Teaching Materials and Methods

Over multiple years, PITFs assisted Professor Hanson’s development of the Project on Law & Mind Science public iSite and supporting his Law and Mind Science seminar, including:
a) Producing trailer videos using excerpts from conferences, and mounting these on the iSite 
b) Identifying suitable multimedia for inclusion in the site  
c) Editing and publishing podcasts 
d) Researching platforms and best practices for recording remote video interviews 
e) Customizing course iSites 
f) Assisting HLS Teaching, Learning & Curriculum and Media Services staff in providing training and support for students needing to learn video recording and editing techniques 
g) Providing technical support for students editing videos and uploading video content

Teaching Challenge:

To engage students with the subject of law and mind science on many levels and a variety of teaching techniques. Professor Hanson envisioned a seminar in which each student would blog multiple times about mind science issues as they relate to law, as well as create original video of an hour-long interview of a mind science scholar.
