Hi
We have actually never done TBL in a nice classroom
Always packed, fixed seat lecture theatres with up to 200 students
Hasn't slowed us down….give students something compelling enough to do and they will ignore the limitations of the space
###############
A few of things we have figured out
Do a detailed classroom map…showing each group exactly where to sit
We try for teams of 6….best we can do most of the time to ensure all team members can see each other
We break the team of 6 rule when we have to….sometimes 5 in one row and two in the next…definitely not ideal…but it does work
The IF-AT forms are big enough to see group to group in a crowded room….we ask students to cover IF-Ats except when scratching
One of our first TBL course we had 122 students in 118 seats…
IT WILL WORK>>>TRUST IN TBL
Jim

Subject: classroom contraints
Hello,
Last year was my first time applying TBL. It was very successful but I have run into a big roadblock for this fall. I’ll have 192 intro to biology students and a lecture hall with 192 desks – no central hallway – just a block of 192 fixed desks.
Has anyone found a creative way to adapt this pedagogy when in-class groupings aren’t possible?
Thanks!
Georgianne
