I’m excited that you are looking at using TBL and also that you are looking for help in doing it. If at all possible, I’m not sure how you’ve been introduced to TBL but, if at all possible, I'd strongly recommend inviting one or more TBL veterans to come to your campus to work with your faculty at two different stages in the process. Although there
would
be some costs involved, I think it is really risky to do a large-scale
TBL
implementation without getting help from someone with real TBL expertise.  Based on the experience of a number of schools that have relied on a single staff
member and/or self-education from the literature and the web site, the
cost
of NOT investing in the training can be much higher. That's because it
is
so imperative to be successful in your first TBL offerings.  If you
struggle in your initial attempts, it will be extremely hard to regain a
positive momentum. Even if the problem is due to a faulty implementation
of
TBL, the doubters on your faculty will conclude that TBL doesn't really
work (or doesn't work with YOUR students or with your subject matter or
something else). Further, their negative voice will be very persuasive
and
get louder with each challenge you encounter.



Overall, I'd recommend two different types of external help. The first
would be to bring in someone well before you planned  TBL introduction to do a series of 
workshops. That would allow your faculty to actually experience the key
activities involved in TBL under the direction of someone who really
knows
how to do it. For most faculty, such an experience does two important
things. One is creating the high level of motivation and commitment that
you will need to sustain the effort required to get the design work done. The other is giving them a common and well-grounded understanding of
TBL that will build their confidence to move ahead.



The second time that I would bring in a TBL veteran would be after you
have
some modules that you think are pretty much ready to go. At that point,
someone who really knows what they are doing would be able to spot any
serious flaws in you planned implementation. In addition, they would
also
be able to suggest modifications that would make make your initial
offerings more exciting for both you and your students.
