Learning Law Using Augmented Reality and Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Abstract

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4 IR), there are various legal tasks that are becoming increasingly automated, and hence, it is no longer sufficient for law students to only know the law. Today's law graduates have to be equipped with skills that can future-proof their careers from automation; hence, the onus is on education providers to embed those skills in the curriculum. In an attempt to address the identified skills gap and better enable graduate work readiness, augmented reality (AR) and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) have been introduced into a law module at Taylor's University to encourage first-year law students to learn law using AR and utilise NLP techniques to deliver a human element through digital learning. Through the interpretation of students' feedback from a module survey, this chapter aims to understand student learning experience on the role of AR and NLP in facilitating and enhancing their legal studies and preparing the graduate more effectively for the workplace.
