We are looking forward to exploring the team-based learning strategy with you in two workshops at IAMSE on Saturday, June 9. We want to serve as catalysts to help you use team-based learning more effectively.
This is a full day activity with two workshops.
The first three-hour workshop titled “Fundamental Principles and Practices of TBL” is followed by an hour-long lunch break and then a second three-hour workshop titled “Creating an Effective TBL Module” builds on the knowledge and skills from the first workshop. The goal of the activity is for participants to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the fundamental components of Team-Based Learning (TBL), the sequence of components of TBL, and the benefits of TBL.
