Mary, I generally find interviews with students alone in an isolated manner (answering one question etc) not as interesting , and am not sure my students would believe or trust them without knowing them better (ie. Later year student in their faculty). If wondered if you could do a "spot interview" with a student commenting on what they were doing and what they liked and disliked about TBL at that moment, while actually doing it , would be interesting. Try to make sure the tone is as if talking secretly or covertly to a friend who just looked in (not wanting to disturb the other students engaged in TBL stuff)! For example: 1. Have a group of students studying (reading prep materials) and have one turn to the camera as if talking to a "viewer at home" describing what they were doing and perhaps some of their concerns (reading enough?, properly prepared?) or what they were looking forward to (learning concepts and using them). 2. have a student taking a RAT and look into the camera saying " we're doing the irat and the questions are a bit tough but luckily I studied and also I sure hope I am able to help my team members in the G-Rat" 3. in a case discussion or activity catch them mid heated inter-team discussion and have them say..."our group discussed the issue and are pretty sure we have the right answer...now we just have to convince the rest of the class!" By first deciding what you want to bring out (preconceptions of many students, fears, challenges, thrills), you can integrate it into a fun "along for the ride" type experience. Just some thoughts. Happy to be formally involved if you're looking for some help/collaboration. The more I think of it , I WOULD like to get involved....if possible.

I have a supportive broadcasting department at my college so I am not concerned about any technical issues or movie making issues. I am, however, looking for your ideas and suggestions about a student movie, if you have any. I do enjoy the videos that already exist on the TBL website. I am looking to make a similar movie that interviews students at my college about their experiences in our TBL course offerings. I would like to use a similar interview format. Are there specific questions I should ask? Questions to avoid? I want the movie to be something new TBL students can watch at the beginning of a course and kind of understand what to expect as well as hear from other students about their own experiences in a TBL classroom. Any insights, recommendations on questions, or general recommendations would be appreciated. MKG Mary K.
