How-to Guide for Team-Based Learning

This volume provides step-by-step instruction in creating a Team-Based Learning (TBL) module or course. In clear and concise language, the authors describe the content and purpose of each component of a TBL instructional unit. Using the principle of backward design, they then outline the process for creating a TBL learning activity. Practical issues of implementation are reviewed including team formation, orientation, incentive structures, appeals and peer evaluation. The factors that might facilitate or sabotage success are provided as well with discussion of the importance of buy-in and organization, getting the right room, the challenge of moving from lecturer to facilitator, and the dangers of over-testing or providing an inadequate incentive structure. In the final chapter the authors provide resources and tips for developing the knowledge and skills to launch a TBL course or curriculum.
