The objective of this workshop is to demonstrate how technology can be used to significantly enhance the learning experience for lawyers, both at the initial qualification stage and indeed for continued professional development (CPD) post qualification. We showcase how we have used the iPad as a bespoke teaching & learning tool for almost ten years, thus ensuring that what is taught to our students at pre-qualification level also reflects the changes occurring in the day-to-day practice of law and the administration of justice. We then describe our adaptation of technological resources during the pandemic to ensure the successful online delivery of our entire solicitor training programme, including the provision of online skills training and online examinations. Finally we review how the lessons learnt during the pandemic with regard to the use of technology can be leveraged post-pandemic to provide new more flexible routes to qualification and more accessible CPD offerings through ‘blended’ learning opportunities.
