Serious consideration of our students’ learning requires us to engage
with the theoretical constructs of other disciplines, some of which have much to
tell us about how we teach law, how we might teach it more effectively; how our
students learn and what they understand as learning. This interdisciplinary
understanding is an essential component in the dialectic between theory and
praxis of teaching and learning, and the law. If this is true for what might be
termed more traditional learning methods, it is even more the case for computerbased
educational interventions. In computer-based learning, the management of
learning on many levels becomes critical to educational success, and the understanding
and application of interdisciplinary theory plays an important role in the
design and development of materials and in the learning events themselves
