European Union law observatory : technology in teaching and learning

Abstract

A negative effect of globalization on society is that people now have more control than ever over their immediate environment but have no control over processes such as European integration that are marking their futures. These processes are happening beyond their environment, and understanding them requires a high degree of knowledge and operating control of the information systems and new information technologies. Law degree teachers help their students to acquire sufficient knowledge of these systems but they need new resources to achieve better results for the operating control of information systems and new information technologies within the European Union framework. For the past three years, the University of Huelva has supported an innovative teaching project which I direct, called: the EUROPEAN UNION LAW OBSERVATORY. This is a virtual and lecture-based resource for all compulsory or optional courses taken by third-year Law students whose study programmes include European Union (EU) Law
