Hi
There is a podcast on the teambasedlearning.org site with a conversation with sunay palsole and carolyn awalt (sorry if spelling is wrong) about their use of TBL online
it is worth a listen

Thanks for this information. Any ideas from anyone about how to deal with students in an asynchronous online course?
Thank you,

Stan,
I can tell you that if you have the flexibility to channel things to a format where you can have synchronous/live/hybrid online courses and have or get access to a robust virtual classroom tool such as Elluminate, you can fairly easily translate TBL to online.
In particular, the well thought out "break out rooms" feature in Elluminate has made it a snap for me to distribute students to their team "rooms" for work on team application exercises, and then bring everyone back together in the main room for simultaneous revealing of results via the room's whiteboard for inter-team debate/dialog.
I am in my first quarter of doing a true TBL approach with my hybrid history course and for simplicity sake, I did not incorporate the Team RAQ/RAT/RAP piece until I was sure of the live sessions team mechanics and dynamics (instead they do the RAT/RAP individually via automated Blackboard multiple choice quizzes). Being very happily surprised with how this has worked, Phase II will be bringing in the RAT/RAP piece for Summer quarter.
While I am still doodling and eager to hear others' experiences to help refine my approach, I will be bringing in the team RAT/RAP process next quarter. My best thinking of the moment is using our Blackboard server to open up a time-released window 15-20 minutes before our Elluminate session for each student to do the automated individual quiz. I will then start our Elluminate session with the team quiz and do rounds of the team break out rooms indicating verbally or via the white-board which answers are right/wrong and then move on to the next team until all team's finish their quizzes. Then using Blackboard's instant aggregate stats and team quiz notes, do my mini lecture on the tricky parts and then lead into application exercises.
How are others doing this and what are your experiences TBL-ing online? :)

Hi, folks---
I have been using TBL since about 1995, but am now facing a major shifting of emphasis at my university towards on-line offerings. As a result, I am now being asked to develop a 100% on-line version of my MBA organizational behavior course. I would really appreciate learning from anyone doing TBL on-line, especially OB and in particular, how the team aspects are to work. Our electronic platform is Moodle.
Many thanks.
