Kevin,

 

Now that we have an image of what the ideal TBL classroom looks like the question to my mind is: Why theatre in the round?  How is that better than a large rectangular  classroom with 6 or 7 chairs around a rectangular table with the instructor somewhere in the middle?

Jim Sibley also previously produced this which is maybe what you were after too?

Hi Ken,

 

I believe that Jim's response is probably the simplest and cheapest. However, there are some interesting resources at the McGill U website:

http://www.mcgill.ca/tls/spaces/alc

 

I participated in a workshop on active learning classrooms in Montreal during the STLHE conference there a couple of years ago and found it very informative for thinking about not just TBL classroom configurations but classroom configurations for a variety of active learning approaches. I believe workshop presenters were from McGill U, Dawson College and Champlain College in Montreal.

 

Anyways, really interesting examples of active learning classrooms that run the gamut from super expensive to relatively cheap.

 

Cheers

 

Neil

I know this has come up before but I cannot find a good reference or pictures of classroom setups that work for TBL and other active learning styles.  University needs a bit more convincing to invest into such facilities.  Can anyone send me options/pictures/diagrams of what they find works and especially if they are multiuse rooms etc.

At University of Colorado, we recently launched TBL as the pedagogy for IPE education across our campus. In addition to faculty development on the method (most facilitators had never been exposed), we offered peer observation and feedback and used the attached coaching form. Wendy Madigosky and Nichole Zehnder cc’d above were the primary movers for development of this form.

Colleagues:

An ad-hoc subcommittee of the Educational Development Committee (EDC) has been charged with developing a rubric for peer-evaluation of TBL facilitators.  If anyone has developed a tool like this, would you be willing to share your resource with the subcommittee?  If so, please send it directly to me at: [log in to unmask]

Thank you,
