Using Open-Source, Collaborative Online Reading to Teach Property

handle is hein.journals/stlulj64 and id is 362 raw text is: USING OPEN-SOURCE, COLLABORATIVE ONLINE READING TO TEACH PROPERTY TIMOTHY J. McFARLIN* ABSTRACT Would you like students to read more before class? Read more deeply and critically? Help each other do that? Would you like a window into their thoughts, interests, and questions while they read? The ability to respond to them in real- time? Then read on. Would you like more control over your course material? Stop hopping around the casebook? Speak directly to your students in their readings? Make their legal education more affordable? Then continue. This Essay relates my early experiences in adapting an open-source (free of charge) book to my Property course and having students read it using a collaborative online platform called Perusall. While I believe this will particularly interest Property teachers, I also think it usefulfor anyone, teaching any course, intrigued by the questions above. * 0 2020 Timothy J. McFarlin. Assistant Professor, University of La Verne College of Law. Thank you to the Saint Louis University Law Journal, particularly Susie Lee, who when I asked if she had an extra copy of the Journal's original Teaching Property issue, alerted me that my alma mater was publishing a new issue on the subject. Thank you as well as to the Journal's Editor-in-Chief Kenny Bohannan, and the issue's Managing Editor, Ryan Butler, who both warmly welcomed my contribution to the new issue. Thank you, too, to my Property teacher Alan M. Weinberger, for sparking and developing my interest in the subject. Last but certainly not least, thank you to the wonderful students in my Fall 2019 Property course at La Verne. Without their enthusiasm and dedication to using open-source, collaborative online reading to learn Property, this project would not have been possible, much less as gratifying, valuable, and fun as it's been.
