  • TBL for Training Community of Practice
    Many TBL practitioners are integrating TBL into training in ways which preserve and implement the essential elements of TBL. It has become clear that TBL is well-suited to the training environment and since so many occupations involve regular, career-long training, the potential for integrating TBL into training is extensive and exciting.
  • TBL Online Community of Practice
    As more programs begin to use the online platform to teach important concepts, faculty are becoming more interested in learning how to integrate TBL into the online learning environment.  For the success of online TBL, the instructor needs to follow the TBL principles. A number of TBL practitioners have been developing methods for implementing TBL approaches for online delivery.
