A number of years ago I had a student who had to miss a TBL class that had a RAT due to a school-sanctioned trip (our hockey was playing away). And so I permitted the students to Skype with him during the tRAT portion. I did need to trust that the student Skyping in was not using their textbook to look up answers. But I was comfortable with that because I knew the coach would not tolerate that, and I had enough experience with the student to trust them.

That may not work in all situations because we certainly do not want students to think that there is the possibility that another team is receiving a benefit of some sort.

Cheers

So, I have a student in my class who is being treated for leukemia and will be out next week because her white cell count has dropped and she is at a high risk for infection. Does anyone have any experience with Skype (or other distance learning technology) and TBL group participation? Is there any literature out there, or would this be unique?
