Pre-Conference Masterclass 1 - Introduction to Team-Based Learning 14:00 - 17:00

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a special form of active and collaborative learning that uses a special sequence of individual work, group work and immediate feedback to create a motivational framework in which students increasingly hold each other accountable for coming to class prepared and contributing to discussion.

This workshop aims to introduce participants to TBL by experiencing it as a student would. TBL is a learner-centred ‘flipped’ learning and teaching strategy designed to engage students through a process of preparation, assessment and application of knowledge. It shifts the focus of classroom time from conveying course concepts by the instructor to the application of course concepts by student learning teams.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Explain the essential elements that make up Team-Based Learning
• Describe the benefits and challenges of using TBL

This workshop will be delivered using a Team-Based Learning (TBL) approach
