CALI exercises are available on network-connected computers in the library and in the computer lab. Students may copy exercises to use on their own computers. CALI exercises are designed to augment traditional instructional methods. The exercises can be integrated with course materials or used as supplemental tools. The format of individual CALI exercises varies according to the author's objectives.
Some exercises use a simulated trial to test students' understanding of an area of law.
Others require students to identify and apply issues or interpret cases and statutes. CALI provides optional reports for many exercises. The reports display each question and a summary of the responses to each possible answer. The reports contain a provision for students' comments and evaluation forms.
