After a couple of nocturnal awakenings with musings (increasingly common after 40), I must add the following to what I stated in my last posting that was done with too much haste. 1 - UVA is to be commended with canon salutes for taking the steps to make classroom time for problem-solving. Building the right space begins to force the issue and the leadership is clearly forging ahead against the manifold faculty and student barriers that we have all encountered. Mr. Jefferson will be proud. Paul Koles, I, and others are continuously pushing to reduce the entrenched lecture modality grip here at WSU where we do TBL, but not nearly enough. Med College of Wisconsin is another example of forging ahead with a 'yes we can' attitude. 2 - Getting outcomes published for TBL is a priority for all disciplines using TBL. I commend our colleagues at the New Jersey medical school who have begun to use TBL even in a 'small' way. It's a start that is necessary to grow. I do beg that we all be careful about insuring that TBL (TM) does not go the way of PBL wherein it is so hard to tell exactly what is done to yield its outcomes. Looking forward to the largest gathering of the TBLC in a couple of days! Dean
