At present, 4 E-learning courses have been developed, based on Grand Chamber judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. The courses contain a method to analyse the relevant facts and legal issues in a judgment. The courses have been developed for human rights trainers but would also be of interest for legal professionals. The learner will acquire a deeper understanding of the reasoning of the Court and will be aware of other possible ways to reason (for example by analysing concurring and dissenting opinions). Each course ends with a block ‘having fun with argument’, in which the facts of the case are slightly altered, in order to discuss whether or not the outcome of the case would change. This means the course is not merely about memorising and understanding the judgment but also about developing the skill of reasoning, and being able to apply the underlying principles in other situations.
The courses are interactive: quizzes and assignments activate the learner and involve him/her in the learning process. A trainer can do the courses on line on an individual basis or download all elements of the courses and use them in a traditional class room off line training.
