| Achoimre: | A practical rather than theoretical approach is required in order to infuse law students with a proper appreciation of ethical practice. Ideally this would be done by way of a clinical program but these are expensive to run. This is a report of a project that used multimedia to provide an effective alternative to real-life settings such as clinical exercises, without sacrificing the critical authentic context. The project, based at Queensland University of Technology, created Entry into Valhalla, an online suite of modules which include self-test quizzes and machinima scenarios depicting legal dilemmas confronting the members of a fictional law firm. The project addressed the needs of two separate groups of learners: (1) final year law students studying ethics and (2) law academics and other interested educators in higher education wishing to use information and communication technologies (ICT) to create engaging learning environments for their students but lacking the capacity to do so.
