Hi folks,
A journalist from the news section of the journal Nature contacted me yesterday to get material for a feature story he's writing for the July 16th issue on the challenges of implementing active learning in undergraduate STEM courses. Because I've had such terrific institutional support, as well as a great new active-learning classroom, and therefore had relatively few challenges, he asked me if there was anyone I knew from other institutions who has had more difficulties implementing active learning changes.
His piece is not about TBL per se., but I thought this list would be a good resource, and perhaps we can even end up highlighting TBL as an active-learning strategy that can be implemented successfully in a variety of situations, or despite challenges (but I think he also wants to hear about failures!).
If you're interested in talking to him about your experiences, just send me an email at

Thank you!
