Dear colleagues,

 

Michele Clark and I ran a workshop at the recent TBLC annual conference on: “Getting Student Buy-in and Engagement with TBL or Flipped Classes” that is designed to introduced students to the key requirements for TBL (pre-learning and teamwork).

http://www.cvent.com/events/14th-annual-tblc-conference/agenda-d9be28c7e4b44f77b727496a6ec412d7.aspx

 

A paper describing this approach has recently been accepted by the journal Education + Training (ERA 2010 A*).

 

You are welcome to contact me if you would like a copy of the “orientation kit” that we offered our workshop participants.

Hi Sonia,

 

I use SQ3R too in live study skills workshops, although this is mainly used for getting students up to speed on basic study skills in reading. I’d do a quick google search using the phrase: TBL test preparation medicine MCQ

 

If you want the opposite guide (for staff) see: https://teaching.unsw.edu.au/printpdf/543 “Assessing by Multiple Choice Questions”

 

Presently taking the Harvard HBX CORe program (as a student) and working through many MCQ question types I am still pondering the exact same issue. How do you prepare students for these types of tests. Basic study skills seem the best option as one has to be able to study in depth to “beat the quiz”. I personally don’t believe I am good at this yet.

 

In relation to TBL for business study skills our full Online “Learning Guide” aka self-paced study skills tutorial (for online and face to face postgraduate MBA business students) is freely available as a Moodle course backup that is open licensed under Creative Commons. I can also parse out sections to various formats if interested.

 

We have in the teamwork section:

New to teamwork at postgraduate level?

Group work in university classes isn't necessarily the same as teamwork in business settings. Please see the following guides and tutorials for details on what might be expected of you in our classes.

I have also recently have introduced our students to a Harvard tutorial on Creativity and Innovation which is aimed at team based learning this is called “Harvard Manage Mentor: Innovation and Creativity”.

Malo e lelei,

 

I was wondering if anyone has ever done a session or workshop teaching students how to prepare for TBL tests.

I work on a foundation programme for indigenous and minority students and some of them are struggling with how to prepare, for example,  how much time to spend studying, how to study for MCQs in general.

Does anyone have any practical tips or activities that they have done to get students to practice the skillset required to do TBL well? We will be holding a workshop to help with this preparation and any help would be very appreciated,

Sonia
