Hi Again.
I just wanted to send a couple of quick links and some additional
information for those of you who are interested:
Larry Michaelsen has purchased the domain name:
teambasedlearning.org which will allow you a quick URL for Team
Learning information.
There is an
excellent
videoclip explaining how to provide immediate feedback during the RAT
process using Scantron forms and a new method for facilitating the
Readiness Assessment Test Process called "Immediate Feedback -
Assessment Test (IF-AT).
References for the IF-AT include:
Bush, M. (2001). A multiple choice test that rewards partial
knowledge. Journal of Further & Higher Education, 25 (2),
157-163.

of feedback during preparation for academic testing: Learning is enhanced
by immediate but not delayed feedback. The Psychological Record.

Also, I provided a link for the
2002 hard cover copy of the Team-Based Learning book ($81.95) in
error. I should
have sent you the link to the paperback copy of the book (2004)
which is available through Stylus Publishing at:
http://www.styluspub.com/books/BookDetail.aspx?productID=82220
($24.95).
I should have also
mentioned that Chapter 3 in the textbook provides outstanding
examples of application-oriented activities and how to create them.
You may want to view Larry's video example of
Application
Exercises using video clips from the film "Lean On
Me."
Hope this helps!
