The Collaborative

Overview
The Team-Based Learning Collaborative (TBLC) is a non-profit, volunteer supported organization which encourages the use of Team-Based Learning (TBL).  TBL is a process that dramatically shifts the focus of classroom time from conveying course concepts by the instructor to application of course concepts by student teams. The components of TBL are adaptable to many situations and special resources, making it a practical solution to teaching outside the box.

Vision
To be the global organizing body for advancing the utilization of Team-Based Learning (TBL) at all levels to enhance learning and scholarly teaching and training.

Mission
To provide the vision, organization, skills, training, and leadership to actively promote the understanding, use, transformation, and dissemination of TBL across global educational communities.

Core Values
The TBLC values passion for learner-centered education and training, advocacy, and the key principles of TBL:

  • Effective team formation
  • Individual and team accountability
  • Team decision making

Membership
Membership is available per subscription to the TBLC and is open to all educators with an interest in Team-Based Learning.   Annual membership gives the educator access to TBL web resources and discounts.
