Subject: Re: TBLC Website update
On this topic, while it is terribly easy to make suggestions, how about looking into a grant to supply initial funding to help make TBLC self-supporting? In part, I was thinking of what is described in "The Quiet Revolution in Open Learning" http://chronicle.com/article/The-Quiet-Revolution-in-Open/127545/ .
Note the emphasis on "open" tools as well as the large amount of government funding that apparently is becoming available.
In addition, I understand that these foundations are interested in improving learning in higher education:
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/about-us/about-carnegie
Lumina Foundation
http://www.luminafoundation.org/
Teagle Foundation
http://www.teaglefoundation.org/
I would think that if one of the above support TBL it would be a strong positive signal to those thinking of adopting TBL.
Also, http://www.utexas.edu/academic/ctl/largeclasses/#tbl is a great intro to TBL and I could see it being a strong part of a grant proposal.
I'd be happy to help.
