The TBLC is dedicated to providing resources and support for faculty using TBL™ in their classroom. The TBLC maintains a secure (membership required) Case Bank, organizes the annual TBL conference, and presents a series of online seminars in current topics in TBL. Membership in the TBLC is $50 and gets you access to the case bank, the online seminar series, and entitles you to a discount on TBL conference registrations.
The membership is open to all educators - all with an interest in team-based learning.
The Collaborative is the perfect venue for faculty to network with one another, learn how to best use team-based learning in different learning settings, and garner ideas for promoting the TBL strategy through scholarship.
The TBLC can help you get started using team-based learning:
- Set up a team-based learning workshop for your faculty
- Locate a faculty consultant to help with your team-based learning implementation
- Link you to case materials, evaluation tools, and research opportunities
