Online paralegal education : a case study of a new curriculum

Abstract

This master's project is a case study. It documents my own experience, as a novice online instructor, through the development of a new online curriculum, in Canada, for students in the Paralegal Program. It also documents the design, development, and implementation of curriculum for four real estate courses. Included in this study is comparative research about courses currently offered for Paralegal Programs, which are available in-class or online. This project also takes a look at behaviors and attitudes in both the in-class and online environments and attempts to determine the effect on each according to perceptions of this researcher.
