Hello everyone,

On behalf of the Team-Based Learning Collaborative (TBLC), we would like to announce that Charles Gullo, Tam Cam Ha, and Sandy Cook recently published an article, "Twelve Tips for Facilitating Team-Based Learning" that might be of interest to you. The article can be found in the journal Medical Teacher and is available for download through the publisher. The abstract for the "Twelve Tips" article is provided below:

• Background: Team-based learning (TBL) has become a more commonly recognized and implemented pedagogical approach in curricula of numerous disciplines. The desire to place more autonomy on the student and spend less in-class time delivering content has resulted in complete or partial adoption of this style of learning in many educational settings.
• Aim: Provide faculty with tools that foster a well facilitated and interactive TBL learning environment.
• Methods: We examined the published literature in the area of facilitation – specifically in TBL environments, and explored learning theories associated with team learning and our own experiences to create these facilitation tips.
• Results: We created 12 tips for TBL facilitation designed to assist faculty to achieve an effective and engaging TBL learning environment.
• Conclusions: Applying these twelve tips while facilitating a TBL classroom session will help to ensure maximal participation and optimal learning in a safe yet stimulating environment.
