LawProse Lesson #457 The Key to Effective Online Instruction

From the Staffers at LawProse Inc:

People are often skeptical of online instruction. “Oh no, another Zoom call!” Dreadful as many such calls may be, the skeptics are dreadfully overgeneralizing.

In fact, as our seminars with Professor Bryan A. Garner demonstrate, online instruction can be engaging—even scintillating. How does he do it? (1) While lecturing, he constantly monitors questions in the chatbox, so that he weaves answers to queries seamlessly into his lectures. (2) Because attendees submit in the chatbox their solutions to exercises, he gives instant feedback to individuals in a way that wouldn’t be possible in an in-person seminar. (3) Individual attendees win books and other prizes throughout the day for extraordinary participation and achievement.

With our online instruction, attendees participate at a higher rate than they do at in-person seminars, where they must raise a hand and speak up publicly. Online, some 94% interact with Professor Garner, and they say they feel a close connection with him as a result. Our experience, then, is that with a talented, fluid, attentive instructor, distance learning has its advantages.

Garner will put you to work, and you’ll enjoy it.

Live seminars this year with Professor Bryan A. Garner: Advanced Legal Writing & Editing

Attend the most popular CLE seminar of all time. More than 215,000 people—including lawyers, judges, law clerks, and paralegals—have benefited since the early 1990s. You'll learn the keys to professional writing and acquire no-nonsense techniques to make your letters, memos, and briefs more powerful.

Professor Garner gives you the keys to make the most of your writing aptitude—in letters, memos, briefs, and more. The seminar covers five essential skills for persuasive writing:

  • framing issues that arrest the readers' attention;
  • cutting wordiness that wastes readers' time;
  • using transitions deftly to make your argument flow;
  • quoting authority more effectively; and
  • tackling your writing projects more efficiently.

He teaches dozens of techniques that make a big difference. Most important, he shows you what doesn't work—and why—and how to cultivate skillfulness.
