Holly,
Two folks at UT El Paso have done both
synchronous and asynchronous TBL.
They are Sunay Palsole ([log in to unmask]) and Carolyn Awalt ([log in to unmask])
They are wonderful folks who are generous
with the wisdom of what they have learned!

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.
