The Center for Computer Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) reports:
CALI login procedure (8/2005)
"CALI's website, which hosts 600 interactive lessons in 32 legal topic areas, is available at http://www.cali.org.
To use this service, you (and your students) will need to register on the CALI site and enter the school's authorization code.
The faculty registration authorization code is available to Pepperdine School of Law Faculty only and may be obtained through PepperdineXpress (http://px.pepperidne.edu) in the Legal Resources section on the left side of the page.
The CALI lessons are a valuable resource and are easily incorporated into traditional course materials. They can be assigned to reinforce topics covered in class or to introduce topics prior to discussion. The lessons provide an opportunity for students to practice applying the concepts they are learning. You also may modify the text in most of the lessons to accommodate your lectures. Completion time for most lessons ranges from 30 - 60 minutes."
Note: Student access instructions for CALI may be found on the students' Law Computing Support website at

New Features for CALI Lessons (10/2004)
ScoreSave makes it possible for professors to logon to our website and view how many students have run assigned lessons, how many questions were answered correctly, and the scores received by students in aggregate, or individually if the student has agreed to have her or his score made available to the teacher. ScoreSave is designed so that faculty may group assigned CALI lessons separately for each course they teach, and we will retain these records so they can e asily refer back to an earlier semester and review the list of assigned lessons.
AutoPublish is a new feature of CALI Author that allows professors
to immediately publish their quizzes or lessons to a special area of the CALI website.
The quiz or lesson is then available only to the students in the professor's own class.
When the professor uses CALI Author to create a quiz or lesson and clicks on the
AutoPublish button, a unique URL is created that the professor then distributes
to the students. After the students complete the lesson, and click on the button to
upload their scores, the professor can logon to the CALI website and view students'
saved scores and detailed responses to questions.
Professors may also modify existing CALI lessons and then AutoPublish them.
The AutoPublish feature is introduced in the latest version of CALI Author,
version 3.1.3, which can be downloaded at http://www2.cali.org/caliauthor.
LessonLink is the feature that makes it possible to save
the scores and record students' responses to individual questions. Faculty
may use LessonLink to obtain a unique URL to give to students to track their
usage of current CALI lessons, and it is this feature that is activated when
a professor AutoPublishes a quiz or lesson.
The ScoreSave feature is only available for lessons using the new Flash
viewer. These lessons are identified by the Flash icon next to the lesson
description in the online lesson site at
http://www2.cali.org/lessons.
