Hi everyone,

Are you looking for best practices to improve your team-based activities?
Join our webinar - “Unlock the power of group work: Make peer-to-peer
learning easy to organize” <https://bit.ly/3y8sSQB> on 30th May at 10 a.m.
PT.

Group work is essential for communication, inclusivity, and real-life skill
development. Yet, organizing successful group projects can be challenging.
Instructors face issues of student accountability and scalability, while
students encounter frustrations with non-contributing members. How can we
elevate the group work experience to encourage better collaboration and
learning outcomes?

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share with you my newly updated updated ebook – “Team-based
Learning: A guide to Success <https://bit.ly/3Wh7Mt6>”.

Team-based learning (TBL) has been proven to be an effective approach to
nurturing collaboration skills and self-development via a process of
individual and teamwork. However, there can be unique challenges in TBL
implementation such as maintaining student continuous engagement,
accountability, and sufficient feedback throughout the learning process.

Hi all, I am currently doing a PhD at the University of Bradford, exploring whether Team-Based Learning is inclusive for autistic learners. The research starts off by capturing the experiences of TBL for autistic students in university (or those who have just left) and this will then feed into whether TBL can be used to promote inclusion in secondary schools. It’s very exciting!

Dear TBLers,

At InteDashboard, we believe that TBL has the power to transform education
by promoting active learning, enhancing student collaboration and critical
thinking. In our efforts to grow TBL practice, we are organizing TBL
workshops in March and April, focused on practical strategies for
incorporating TBL into various academic disciplines. Join us for the
following workshops: 

[More ...]

Hello there,

I’m a faculty developer at a small college in British Columbia. I have been approached by instructors who wish to integrate tRAT testing in their online/Hyflex courses. I’m wondering if folks have recommendations for a free or inexpensive online quizzing tools that mimics the tRAT scratch cards. That would mean it allows students to choose multiple answers/question to get to the correct one with the possibility of earning descending, partial marks for doing so. 

[More ...]

I am working on a new research project that touches on several different areas – TBL, active learning, value of working with others, critical thinking skills, thus a vast body of previous literature. I would appreciate if those in the TBL world would share what they think might be relevant peer reviewed publications in case I might be overlooking important references. I am most interested in more recent publications, maybe 2016 to present. 

[More ...]

Greetings from the Team Based Learning Collaborative,
We are seeking a story or two in our next newsletter that will come out in early March. Have you used TBLC to transform a course, a training session or in other settings that you would like to share with our readers? We would love to hear about it. We are open to stories about overcoming challenges, challenging the status quo, or other unique situations where TBL helped you or your program.
If you are willing to contribute, please let me know and I can give you the instructions on the format and length of the article.

Hi all,

I got a question from a teacher. He was wondering if he could send the application exercise (in our field, it is a 2 pages clinical problem) to the students before the TBL session.

The reason he asked if that he found that students are spending to much time reading the clinical scenario during the TBL session; he thought that if students have already done the reading of the clinical scenario at home, they will have more time to focus on the questions of this appplication exercise in class and more time for discussion in class.

Hello Everyone,

I’d like to spread the word about a one-day online conference hosted by the Team-Based Learning Collaborative<http://www.teambasedlearning.org/>, focusing on AI in Team-Based Learning<https://julnet.swoogo.com/tblc23forum/4108095>. More to the point, how can we use AI in our TBL practice? 😊

The forum will be held on 13 October, and you can find more information below. Or you can just send me an email!

With a class of 4 students we are questioning whether 2 teams of two would be recommended. Currently we have one team and we use ghost team responses to team exercises for the students to consider but not much discussion occurs without another real team to discuss with. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

Hi, Mark. I have exactly the same problem, and am just now contemplating what to do.

The problem is in fact twofold, as I see it.

First, even the smallest bundles they sell -- packs of a thousand cards -- is way too many for most of us. It would take me several years to use up an entire pack. Even if you do six or seven TRATs in a single course, you will have that many students on each team, so you won't use up all the cards in a pack until you've taught a thousand students. For most people in my department, that would take several years.

Hi all!

How much time do you estimate for the Pre-class preparation phase of TBL
(before an in-class 3h TBL session)?

I of course understand that it depends of the objectives for that session. However, I am wondering if there is literature showing how much time is optimal (considering that too many objectives is not a good idea).

Basically, it seems to me, as many of you already know, that many of the
issues that instructors face with active learning such as flipping the
classroom are addressed by Team-Based Learning. Our fellow educators just
need to drink the Kool-Aid and come to this realization. Sometimes it
really feels to me like instructors just need to jump into the deep end of

Hello TBL'ers!

I'd like to invite you to a workshop next Tuesday August 2nd at 7P EDT on managing cognitive load in TBL classrooms. In this team-based learning workshop, we will focus on practical ways to curate the readiness process through the lens of cognitive load theory. Attendees will learn about the basic tenets of cognitive load theory, how it can inform the design of pre-class materials, and practical ways to exchange unnecessary cognitive load with productive cognitive load. Attendees are invited to participate in the small and large group discussions. For more information, please find the full description here: https://www.intedashboard.com/tbl-training/managing-cognitive-load

Hi there,

The TBL Collaborative is once again asking for submissions to its upcoming August newsletter for stories about how you and/or your team successfully implemented TBL in your classroom or training. We are particular interested in stories that highlight some struggles (if you had any) and successful outcomes. This is a general interest story, so we do not need nor expect data. We would love to hear from you and highlight your journey.

Hi TBL'ers,

Our institution is using TBL across several courses in the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum, including courses that occur simultaneously within a given semester. Our approach has been to use the same teams for all courses using TBL in a given semester, rather than having different teams for different courses within the same semester. I'm curious how other institutions are operationalizing peer evaluations in this circumstance? Do you have peer evaluations for each course? Or do you have a central process so that the peer evaluations span all the TBL courses in a given semester? How does this influence grading in your courses? Thanks in advance for ideas & experiences you can share!

Hi all,

I am teaching nephrology with TBL x 2013.
I have been ask to explain what is TBL to a group of teachers.

I therefore would like to prepare a lesson about TBL, using the TBL method for that lesson.
I have ideas for IRAT and TRAT.

However, for the application exercices, I am not sure what to do.
For that part, I don't have enough time to ask them to prepare a TBL lesson or to ask them to teach a TBL lesson that is already prepared.
Any other suggestion for the application exercices?

Podcast".
<https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whats-it-worth-a-journal-club-podcast/id1685481034>
Each episode is 30-45m long, covers a wide range of clinical areas, and,
depending on your teaching or precepting needs, could be used as a learning
resource or even as a component of pre-work for our in class TBLs (I know I
plan to use it for my Evidence Based Practice course this coming Fall for
our TBLs)!

<https://feedbackfruits.com/ebook/team-based-learning-a-guide-to-success?utm_source=social&utm_medium=tbl&utm_campaign=tble>*.

Team-based learning (TBL) has been proven to be an effective approach to
nurture collaboration skills and self development via a process of
individual and team work. With the rise of AI, TBL is increasingly in
demand as an alternative approach to ensure academic integrity. However,
there can be unique challenges in TBL implementation such as maintaining
student continuous engagement, accountability, and sufficient feedback
throughout the learning process.

I have a new article published in the International Review of Economics Education: “Variation in individual engagement in team-based learning and final exam performance” available free at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1477388022000184?dgcid=author – until November 3rd.

Abstract
I analyze the relationship between individual contributions within a team in a team-based learning environment and performance on the final exam in three different economics courses over thirteen years. All students are assigned to teams but vary in their degree of engagement or effort in the learning activities in the classroom. Controlling for both general and course-specific academic ability, I document individual learning gains, as reflected in final exam scores, associated with higher levels of engagement in team activities, as reflected in peer evaluations. A one standard deviation increase in an individual’s average peer evaluation above the mean correlates with a 2 to 3 percentage point higher final exam score, a result that generally holds for all class levels, grade point averages, and by gender.

Hello everyone!
At the beginning of the semester, when I present TBL to my students (second year of a bachelor course in Chemistry), I use a group activity to show them how powerful and engaging is working in teams and how different the point of view of the single student is, if compared to a team. This activity, though, is not structured as a TBL module.
I'm looking for some material which could be useful for any subject (that is, not related in particular to chemistry or science), structured as a TBL module (i-RAT and t-RAT, at least one t-APP), to assign to student in order to show them how TBL works.

Dear Team Learning Readers,

Yes, it’s possible! Your academic book can interest a broad audience and
sell as well.

Expert Jane Friedman, who has over 20 years of experience in the publishing
industry and author of the book The Business of Being a Writer, will share
case studies of academic authors who have successfully promoted and
marketed their manuscripts, as well as offer practical steps you can take
to best manage working with publishing agents. 

[More ...]

Hi folks!

For some reason, I had it in my head that the tRAT should always be open book, for the simple fact that it encourages students to bring their books and to take good notes. For the quieter student who is well-prepared but may be shy to speak up during the tRAT, they have something to back up their position. It also helps with appeals. Now I can’t seem to find any reference to this in the major sources.

Hello,

We're developing an immunology TBL that will include a concept mapping
application. We would like to consider student satisfaction (or other
data) that is informative about students' experience with interactive
whiteboards in online TBL sessions. Our current TBL sessions are
online with Intedashboard, but any experience related to online whiteboard
implementation would be appreciated.

Hi all.

I have heard many times that optimum team size in online TBL classes should be smaller than the 5-7 students recommended for ftf classes.

The learntbl.ca site mentions this. The admonition featured prominently in a team-based learning webinar on teaching online a couple years ago.

I find this plausible and use teams of four in my online classes.

Hi TBL folks,

I just published some random thoughts on my blog about how the success of
TBL may be in part due to its possible impact on student resilience.

community a couple of years ago are what got me thinking along these lines.

Dear Colleagues,

There are many reasons why instructors incorporate team-based learning as
an instructional strategy to facilitate learning for their students.
Team-based learning:

- promotes higher engagement and makes learning fun for students in
in-person, online, and hybrid settings
- follows the learning sciences principles, helping students develop
higher-order thinking skills
- adheres to the principles of cognitive load theory, promoting deepened
learning retention

Dear TBL Practitioners,

It appears that the Epstein Educational Enterprises website is no longer available online, and any tests that were saved in their online test bank are now lost. What alternatives resources are you using in place of the IF/AT cards and the test-making tool?

Warmly,

Hello everyone,

My husband John Dyck, included here, redesigned a new course using TBL methodology and the first class and first 4S activity went really well. We have both developed classes using TBL and always feel stumped in the beginning to develop some solid 4S activities. Thus, we are reaching out for ideas.
1. Is there anyone doing a service learning and civic engagement course that has some good 4s activities they would be willing to share?
2. Beyond content specific, what 4s activities work really well that you would share to spur our creativity and ensure they are significant for the students?

Dear TBL Colleagues,
The Vancouver Island Team-Based Learning Institute is back! We’re pleased to let you know that we are picking up where we left off when we were so abruptly interrupted in 2020.
If you are aware of colleagues at your institution who are looking for an experiential opportunity to learn TBL, and who would thrive in doing so while working collaboratively with other faculty members, we invite you to share this announcement with them. Fees are modest, set for cost recovery only. Our one goal is the promotion of transformative TBL practices.
What: 2022 Vancouver Island Team-Based Learning Institute<https://wordpress.viu.ca/ciel/2022/04/12/2022-vancouver-island-team-based-learning-institute-august-9-10-11/>. (The TBL Institute is a small format gathering, providing a hands-on learning experience for faculty wishing to adopt the TBL Model as presented by Michaelsen, Knight and Fink in Team-Based Learning: A Transformative Use of Small Groups)
When: August 9-10-11, 2022
Where: The campus of Vancouver Island University<https://www.viu.ca/> in Nanaimo, BC<https://tourismnanaimo.com/>
Imagine a classroom where…students always come prepared because they know that their contributions during in-class assignments will be consequential. They know they’ll be expected to participate, and they know their peers will be there to work with them. They look forward to class because they own the learning objectives and process.
Tine Reimers and Bill Roberson of Vancouver Island University, and Jim Sibley of University of British Columbia will be your hosts and facilitators for the 2022 Vancouver Island Team-Based Learning Institute.

Hello there,

I've been a lurker on the list-serv for many years. I've been.....let's say.....flirting with TBL for just as long.

My current challenge related to TBL, is creating application exercises for my intro level accounting course. This has been harder than I expected.

Are there any accounting instructors out there who resonate with this? I am looking for someone to team up with to crack this.

Dear Team Learning Readers,

Are you confident that your published research can make a greater impact
but are uncertain as to how to maximize its dissemination? Learn how you
can properly leverage social media and in-person events, such as book
launches and conferences, to spread your research. Dominique De Roo, Vice
President of Marketing at Brill, and Tomer Persico, Academic Director at
Kolot, will reveal how to strategically utilize these platforms to ensure
your research reaches the appropriate audience.

This fall semester I will teach two sections of my intermediate microeconomics course, one using TBL and the other not (active lecture). I will repeat this exercise in the spring with my introductory level microeconomics course, and plan to do this for at least two years to get enough observations. Our classes are relatively small, with about 45 per section.

Hi All,
For those of you at institutions that have faculty or instructor learning communities for those who use TBL in their classes, have you found that participation has increased or waned during/since the pandemic? Have you seen any fluctuation in engagement in these learning communities in any capacity since the pandemic, or even prior to the pandemic? Similarly, has anyone published about this recently?

Good morning from sunny England!

Is there anyone willing to share their TBL modules on writing dissertations/conducting research? I teach early childhood studies and have created my own, but it would be really helpful to see how others have approached the teaching of these topics. I am looking for inspiration, and I hope someone will be able to provide it!

Dear Team Learning Readers,

Many scholars excel at writing academic manuscripts but are less confident
when asked to pitch their work in the final stage ahead of submission: the
book proposal. *Laura Portwood-Stacer, **author of **The Book Proposal
Book* (Princeton
University Press), will break down the book proposal process in a clear and
attainable way and offer tips on how to (successfully!) pitch your proposal
to prospective university presses and academic publishers.

Yes. I was the instructor. Same course (4 sections). Same semester. Lecture vs TBL. I used course evaluations, attendance, student retention rates, and exam grades.

Has anyone conducted a study of TBL versus (active) lecture courses taught by the same instructor during the same semester? Not comparing parts of a course, but entire course TBL versus entire course more traditional lecture interspersed with activities done individually (or with others but not in organized teams). Besides academic performance in the class, what other instruments have been used to measure TBL versus lecture differences?

Just checking but do you give additional points for appeals. I had a team
that only missed one question but they wanted to appeal two other items
that they weren't crazy about the wording on even though they had answered
those items correctly on their first try. Since this whole endeavor is
about learning I'm inclined to give them their perfect score for submitting
two good appeals.

Dear Team Learning Readers,

Traditionally, leading publishers have favored publishing books written by
established academics in top universities. While much of this seminal
research is critically important in laying the foundations in many fields,
oftentimes potentially groundbreaking research from smaller universities or
from underrepresented populations hasn’t been afforded the same opportunity
to be seriously considered by leading publishers.

Hello again,
I wanted to remind the readers of this listserv that we are very much interested in hearing from you about the impact that TBL has had in your life/teaching/learning (as a participant or a teacher). We publish a newsletter for the TBLC (Team Based Learning Collaborative) and find that our members like to hear about success stories (even if they were hard earned ones). So, please contact me, Charles Gullo at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, if you are keen to share your story with us. I will send you our instructions for length and proper formatting. I look forward to your contribution.

So I just responded to my student evals from the fall. As usual, the more
vocal students railed against the RAP. Even though we spent two weeks
going over the syllabus and I explained the rationale for both the RAP and
formative assessment, they still questioned the testing before lecturing
(btw I do provide a brief study guide with instructions like "be able to
tell the difference between...").

Happy New Year and greetings everyone from England!

I was wondering if someone has adapted TBL to sociology and specifically the construction of childhood? I have some ideas for an application activity but I would be really grateful to hear from anyone who has already done this.

Many thanks,

Dear Team Learning Readers,

With journal submissions on a steep rise since the outset of the Covid-19
pandemic, publishers are feeling intense pressure to manage the record
level of article submissions, while continuing to preserve their high
standards. At the same time, they must ensure this research is disseminated
quickly so that it can reach the hands of decision-makers so they can
determine policy.

Hi TBLers

I plan to give a workshop on team-based learning, aimed at faculty who have
never seen it before. I hope to do a quick demo and do a little selling.
The best way to introduce TBL is to use TBL, so I would like the workshop
attendees to do a reading prep and then go through the TBL process.

Dear TBLer,

Teaching with a team-based learning methodology can be a daunting task for
any educator, especially with the switch to remote learning which has made
it harder for educators to replicate team-based learning effectively
online. Educators are using multiple tools to facilitate a TBL session,
making it challenging for them and their students. Is there an alternative?

Hello TBL folks,

I am looking for colleagues who are using (or have used) TBL in their History classrooms (or perhaps Humanities more broadly) in a post-secondary context, especially in Canada. I am thinking about coordinating a panel for the Canadian Historical Association annual meeting, which will be held online again in 2022 (May 16-18).
