We found that using tbl to explain tbl worked the best. We took a hit on our evaluations because when we tried to show a video or PowerPoint because the appearance was too close to a lecture format. I would send them an article in advance (the prework) Then when they come to the session put them in a team, hand out the IRAT, go immediately to the GRAT and make them discuss the points. If the prework is out this part takes only 5 minutes. And you still have time for q and a. Terry Theresa Frederick Manager Education Innovation Medical College of Wisconsin 8701 Watertown Plank Rd.

If I only had 20 minutes, I would show the 12 minute TBL video created by Michael Sweet on the TBLC website, take 2 minutes to show resources for future training (e.g. books, the website), then answer questions for the next 6 minutes.

I have a chance to show off the TBL practice to interested colleagues, but I have an absurdly short amount of time that cannot be altered (20 minutes). The topic can be condensed into a single detailed figure, so I was thinking about the following itinerary: First 5 minutes - Complete a 2 question individual RAT over the figure they have just been handed. Next 5 minutes - Do the Team RAT Use the next two minutes to clear up misunderstandings from the RAT Final 8 minutes - Application activity. Is that condensing things too far? Should I really just focus on designing a meaningful 20 minute application activity and explain that students would have done a preparation process beforehand?
