Abstract
This presentation will provide guidance on effective strategies for use when teaching Torts. In particular, approaches designed to scaffold student learning and to engage students in learning environments will be examined. Specifically, this presentation will explore the author’s experiences in delivering torts lectures in a way that is more than just ‘information dumping’, but instead engages students and develops their critical thinking skills. Further, novel assessment practices, using interactive tools available in Echo360, which foster students’ ability to effectively time manage and become independent learners, will be discussed. It is hoped that attendees at this presentation will walk away with a few practical tips and tools that they can easily apply to their own teaching practices.
