Exploring the Promise of Team Based Learning

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a special type of small group facilitation, which differs from cooperative learning or group activities. The TBL approach integrates case studies and applied learning throughout the entire semester, with student teams remaining intact for all of the small group discussions and assignments. Although each course has a different set of learning objectives with respect to content knowledge, the broader course objectives for TBL courses are consistent regardless of course topics.
