Hi Holly
Video-Conference Things
1) Make sure distant site is well microphoned....our medical program is
distributed to three sites and the ability for the distant site to
easily ask questions helps them feel engaged
2) As a presenter really work on including the remote site....it really
helps to welcome them, look into the camera a lot and ask questions of
both sites...I could get you in touch with the person here that does
faculty training before they do a distributed lecture
TBL Things
There is a group of us that will be talking later this summer or early
fall about TBL at a distance.....my early thoughts are at
http://cis.apsc.ubc.ca/wiki/index.php/TBL_Online
Possibilities
1) Google Docs - requires one laptop per group, wireless networking
I have an instructor that has 24 teams in his class....he creates a
table in Google docs with questions and a place for each team to put
their responses....the teams work thru a typical TBL
worksheet/Application Activity....he then shares the Google docs
password....everyone simultaneously adds their response....he pulls up
the completed doc and facilitates the discussion
2) Wimba Live Classroom (or similar - adobe connect, illuminate, webex)
I have tried live classroom and shared the screen with all the groups
and they put a checkmark beside their team number and response to the
application activity.....much like above solution
3) Web-Based Clickers
Some of the classroom response technology has a web version that allows
multiple sites to respond to same poll....disadvantage is the anonimized
version of the results....but does give you a point of departure for a
discussion
4) If students have PDA's maybe Wake Forests "Class in Hand" or ETHs
"Lecture Communicator" might be of use
5) I wonder if Dan Robinson (UTexas Austin) RAT software would support
multi-site?.....http://tbl.apsc.ubc.ca/conferences/2007/#l

Subject: A Unique Opportunity for Team Based Learning from a Distance
Hi All,
I have been given a unique opportunity to deliver a clinical pathology
course via distance education to a group of 25 veterinary students at
the University of Nebraska next Spring. I cannot travel to Nebraska as
I am also scheduled to teach a section to the 123 veterinary students at
the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University in Ames. The
course meets at both sites every day that semester. I have used team
based learning successfully at the ISU CVM for several years. In that
course we do individual quizzes and exercises followed by team exercises
almost daily, and then we meet as an entire class to debate the
responses. Most of the exercises are based on clinical cases. I am such
an advocate of TBL that it is difficult to even imagine going back to
conventional methods. The current plan is to deliver a synchronous
course by Polycom and computer desktop sharing to the UNL students from
Ames. I am looking to recreate what I have done locally, but from a
distance. Have any of you attempted a synchronous TBL course from a
distance and if so, would you mind sharing your experiences? I would
love to hear from you.
Thanks!
Holly
