“…Research has also suggested that group work is more successful when teams are more 'academically aligned'; 59 it may be that our favouring of diverse abilities and academic stages played a role, and that weaker students chose to stop contributing rather than seek help from stronger members within the team. 60 A more rigorous recruitment strategy may allow us to…”

This article draws on the authors' experience of introducing a student-led legal podcast in their law school in September 2017 to explore creative podcasting's potential as a tool of legal knowledge and skill development. Drawing on the authors' observations as the coordinators of the podcast, as well as a survey conducted amongst student participants, it considers the value of creative podcasting as a means of enhancing legal knowledge, aiding skills development, and fostering a feeling of collaboration and community. The article also reflects on the practical challenges associated with running a project of this type outside the school's curriculum, focusing particularly on the challenge of encouraging student buy-in.

one's personal learning style in order to make sure the elearning course you choose will meet your expectations. My personal style with law is to absorb as much as I can until I can't take any more. How much depends on the topic. The three areas I found particularly tricky were Criminal law; all those definitions are so important and yet hard to commit to memory. Civil procedure is quite a labyrinth too and defamation sounds reasonably straight forward but is not that easy to grasp beyond the basic concepts. AND FINALLY… I took the Legal Foundations Course as a refresher and as a personal challenge to see if I could e-learn effectively. Unfortunately I fell into the same trap as the first time and went on holiday while the first lectures were released on the system. Will I ever learn?! Or should I say elearn?! Well one of the beauties of e-learning, is that unlike conventional lectures, the material was waiting for me upon my return. It took extra time to catch up but once I had, I tackled each new topic with gusto as soon as it became available. Personally I think I could get quite addicted to e-learning. For the most part it's just you the learner and the subject matter itself, which is the way I like it. No travel, no Tuesday evenings taken up for months, and I can organise my own tea and biscuits! So yes it's a bit of a revolution! Why don't you give it a whirl yourself… Bibliography

The use of XR technology in criminal justice teaching and education: a scoping review

XR technology (an umbrella term that incorporates virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and in some opinions, 360 immersive video) offers considerable potential for supporting learning in the criminal justice sector. The use of XR can allow students and trainees to experience hard-to-reach, risky and dangerous scenarios, and to safely practice repeated learning in order to develop skills and expertise. Despite this potential, the extent to which XR technology has been introduced into criminal justice education and training is relatively limited. A scoping review was undertaken to assess current applications, areas of strength and limitations in current provision, and to identify recommendations for future XR enhanced educational approaches. The review identified that the use of XR technology was somewhat limited to small, stand-alone simulations. With some exceptions, the application of educational theory was also limited. Efforts to assess the effectiveness of simulations often relied on self-reported measures. The review concludes that there is potential for XR technology to impact criminal justice education and training in a positive way, but this needs to be built on a solid empirical and theoretical foundation.
