My experience has been virtually identical to Herbert's. I have used Zoom
breakout rooms to great effect for TBL team activities. It has made me
rethink is the value of having all team activities graded and count toward
students' final grades. I don't think that anymore as a result of the
pandemic. Some, certainly, but not all. Trying to mitigate students' stress
during the pandemic made me rethink this. That and the ability of students
to look things up on the internet while in their breakout rooms really
forced me to rethink this.
It is still a work in progress but I think the pandemic allowed me to think
how to implement TBL more effectively. How those changes will manifest
themselves in a fully F2F classroom is something that I am still thinking
through but I think it will be better than pre-pandemic.
