In an effort to recognize excellence and innovation in advancing Team-Based Learning through research and scholarly publications, two papers were awarded top honors in the following categories:
Winning articles were published in a peer-reviewed journal in the last two calendar years (2021 to 2023), are consistent with the entire TBL process, and align with the mission of the TBLC.
Jazz and TBL: A Workshop in Improvisation Skills for Facilitating Great Sessions

The act of teaching is an improvisational activity. This holds true regardless of pedagogy. TBL facilitators encounter uncertainty, complexity, and change in their daily teaching activities. Like jazz musicians, they need to improvise, managing a tension between the structure imposed by the learning objectives and the freedom necessary to meet learners where they are. This workshop will draw upon traditions of jazz education to help facilitators explore their voice, an important developmental task in improvisation. Voice incorporates facilitation skills into one’s own style, conveying authenticity and fueling synergy and harmony in human relationships. Teachers who have developed an authentic voice are more likely to create memorable experiences in the classroom, and to reach learners and help them navigate the difficulties of learning new material. These skills will benefit instructors teaching in any discipline, at any level, and with diverse student groups.
We hope you enjoy this and our other exciting workshops.
With the 2023 TBLC Meeting just around the corner, we would like to bring attention to one of our featured workshops: Accommodation of Self-Directed Learning (SDL) using Team-Based Learning (TBL). This session will be presented by Suzan Kamel-ElSayed, Sarah Lerchenfeldt, and Gustavo Patino We hope you enjoy this session!
Title: Accommodation of Self-Directed Learning (SDL) using Team-Based Learning (TBL) Presented by: Suzan Kamel-ElSayed – Oakland University Sarah Lerchenfeldt – Oaklnad University Gustavo Patino – Oakland University Date & Time: Monday, March 13, 2023, 10:00 AM – 11:45 PM Eastern

Self-Directed Learning (SDL) is a process in which learners are responsible for their learning with minimal guidance from educators. While the required components of SDL may vary based on the program, in many cases students are asked to determine the learning objectives, identify resources for learning, select and implement learning strategies and evaluate their learning outcomes. SDL is an important skill to learn as it allows students to develop lifelong learning skills necessary for their profession. For this reason, it is commonly used in health professions education, and in some cases is a curriculum requirement. In an effort to more effectively meet SDL curriculum requirements, this workshop aims to describe the process of adopting SDL using a slightly modified version of team-based learning (TBL).
We hope you enjoy this and our other exciting workshops.

Dr. Holly Bender
Plenary: From Novice to Expert: Rethinking the Role of TBL Prework Date and Time: March 12, 2023 at 5:00 PM ET Presented by: Dr. Holly Bender, DVM, PhD, Diplomate, ACVP Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine (USA)
The notion that “it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert” is often quoted from Malcolm Gladwell’s popular 2008 book Outliers: The Story of Success. Gladwell was referring to the expertise and human performance research of Florida State University professor and cognitive psychologist K. Anders Ericcson. The NY Times called Ericcson “the expert on experts.”
What practices differentiate true experts from what Bereiter and Scardamalia call “experienced non-experts?” Ericcson et al. discovered the method used by the highest performers in fields as diverse as medicine, music, chess, sports, and more. He found that the secret to achieving peak performance and staying on the cutting edge of expertise is a four-step process called “Deliberate Practice.” It is little wonder that TBL helps students become high achievers. Well-designed TBL leverages the principles of deliberate practice.
How might we use deliberate practice to scaffold TBL prework? This session will delve into the four steps of deliberate practice and explore how we can effectively extend its principles into TBL prework. Holly and her team’s research at multiple veterinary colleges and, more recently, student feedback at the University of Arizona’s CVM tell us we are onto something big. Holly is excited to share these findings with you.
We hope you enjoy what we are sure will be a very engaging plenary discussion. Don’t forget, the Early Bird deadline for the Annual Meeting is January 15!
The 22nd Annual TBLC Meeting is just around the corner, and we would like you to get to know our keynote sessions! We have three presentations this year and we hope you enjoy each. One of our plenary addresses will be given by Dr. Changiz Mohiyeddini, Professor and Director of Behavioral Medicine & Psychopathology at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine.
Dr. Changiz Mohiyeddini
Plenary: Determinants and Consequences of Engaging and Successful Team-Based Learning Activities for Adolescent and Adult Learners Date and Time: March 13, 2023 at 8:15 AM ET
Team-based learning (TBL) has been increasingly implemented within higher education and in business sectors as a high-quality pedagogical tool over the last decade. In general, TBL is an approach that enables educators to provide opportunities to solve real-life job-related problems and collect authentic professional experiences. However, little is known about the psychological and educational determinants of an engaging and successful TBL and how these can be utilized to predict and achieve the desired outcomes of TBL. This course will provide an evidence-based theoretical framework to understand the main determinants of an engaging and successful TBL, age appropriateness, and feasibility of different strategies.
Dr. Mohiyeddini joined Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine faculty in September 2019 as a Full Professor in the Department of Foundational Medical Studies. He is the director of Behavioral Medicine and Psychopathology. Dr. Mohiyeddini received his PhD in Psychology from the Universidad of Trier (Germany) and his habilitation from the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (Germany).
Prior to joining the faculty at OUWB, Dr. Mohiyeddini held senior faculty positions at higher education institutions in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Luxemburg, England, and the United States. The teaching portfolio of Dr. Mohiyeddini comprises Behavioral Medicine, (Child and Adult) Psychopathology, Brain and Behavior, Clinical-Health Psychology, Personality Psychology, Psychological Assessment, Counselling Psychology, and Advanced Quantitative and Qualitative Methods. Furthermore, he has extensive expertise in development, evaluation, and management of academic programs and curriculums. Dr. Mohiyeddini’s teaching has been acknowledged with several awards for outstanding teaching throughout his career.
Dr. Mohiyeddini is an experienced psychotherapist and serves as a quantitative and assessment counselor to medical schools and hospitals in Europe to develop, implement, and evaluate community-based educational and health-related clinical projects. Furthermore, he contributed to the advancement of his discipline and the scientific community as a longstanding Editor-in-Chief and member of editorial boards of several international academic journals.
We hope you enjoy what we are sure will be a very engaging plenary discussion.
