Workshop Details
Friday, March 5, 2010
Facilitator: Jim Sibley, University of British Columbia
Format: Workshop
Time required: 3 hours
Title: “Wow, that was a great workshop – but I am not sure how to get started with my course?”
In this highly interactive session attendees will use the wisdom of the room to answer the question – “How can I best approach developing a successful Team-Based Learning Course?”
Participants will explore how TBL experts answer this question, how experienced teachers with no TBL course development experience would answer the question, and especially what someone new to teaching and TBL wants to know to help them successfully developing a TBL course.
Using a series of facilitated activities, participants will also explore the variety of approaches used in course design, examine why TBL course design is different, and identify what supports faculty need when developing their first TBL course. Participants will look at what has worked for people, what advice to share with people new to TBL course design, and what questions there still are about TBL course design.
The outcome of this workshop will be a draft document that outlines a series of practices and recommendations on approaches to TBL course design. Following the workshop, feedback on the practices and recommendations will be sought using the TBL listserve. The final document would be available by summer 2010 on the TBLC website.
