Everyone, I am pleased to announce that the 2009 International Team-Based Learning conference will be held March 5 and 6 on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. Following in the footsteps of last year's conference, the 2009 conference will be open to all disciplines, with a focus on "cross-pollinating" innovations and best practices across disciplinary lines. Conference center and hotel room spaces have been reserved, and I will send updates as the website and printed collateral for the event come together. March is a lovely time in Austin--I look forward to seeing you here! -Michael Michael Sweet, Instructional Consultant Division of Instructional Innovation and Assessment (DIIA) University of Texas Austin MAI 2206 * (512) 232-1775 "Teaching is the profession that makes all other professions possible." - Todd Witaker
