I would recommend you take a look at what Ed Prather has done with his 800 (!) student sections and interactive lecturing and lecture tutorials. Low tech, highly effective. While he does not use TBL he has students collaborate in each session using his lecture tutorials.

My thanks, too, Melissa, and Michael.

Also, I am wondering if there is an ideal integration of TBL and Peer Instruction? Am trying my own version (TBL with IFAT forms, etc., and iClicker2), but could use some help from others who are also trying "hybrid" versions.

Thanks, Melissa! This is a nice readable piece. :-)

I foresee the conversation between peer instruction and TBL growing increasingly robust over the next few years.

Both are excellent approaches with strengths in different areas—I wonder if we could ever develop a quick checklist to help instructors choose which of the two would be best for them?
