POGIL is "Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning". Students learn course material through a guided problem-solving model. The website is www.POGIL.org. It was originally designed for chemistry students, but has been expanded to include biology models, and should work for any discipline that does problem-solving. It is quite compatible with TBL, but does not in and of itself focus on team work or team building, but rather on problem solving.
