Dear Bill and Amanda,

I think that the best way to explain TBL to a class is to give them the experience. I give students a “test drive” (with just five questions) in the very first class immediately after having formed teams. Teams use all the materials as I step them through a PowerPoint presentation that explains in detail what they need to do. I also support this with a detailed website that describes the TBL process and rationale.

Please contact me direct if you would like a copy of my presentation.

Does anyone have a printed student guide that explains TBL? Since only myself and one other person use TBL at our institution, it seems that I can never explain TBL thoroughly enough. I thought some printed materials might be helpful so students are less trepidatious about the experience.

Thank you,
Amanda
