More Information

Meeting Highlights: New to the 2022 conference are virtual and in-person pre-conference workshops. One week before the opening of the main conference, all attendees will have access to virtual interactive sessions, to be offered in time zones more accessible for international audiences. In person pre-conference workshops will be held on Saturday, March 5 and Sunday, March 6 and will offer all five workshops needed to complete the TBLC Fundamentals Certificate (link the page). The main conference will begin Sunday evening with an opening plenary by Dr. Larry Michaelsen, creator of Team-based Learning. Dr. Michael Sweet, Director of Design and Integration at the Center for Advancing Teaching & Learning Through Research at Northeastern University will deliver a second plenary address on March 7. Both speakers are sure to deliver stimulating and thought provoking sessions.

During the main conference we are excited to introduce two new attendance tracks: All Access Live and Virtual-Only. Virtual-Only attendees will enjoy access to the full library of online poster presentations, oral presentations, synchronous virtual workshops and recordings of each plenary address. All Access Live attendees will have access to all the virtual options as well as the extended schedule of course offerings each day, meet and greet sessions, networking and more.

The 21st Annual TBLC Conference is gearing up to be an experience filled with engaging sessions and plenty of networking opportunities for all who attend. We hope you will plan to join us in March for this exciting reimagining of what it means to bring TBL to educators around the globe.

Session Information: Even in an Art and Design studio, good listening and speaking skills are essential and getting students to verbalize their thoughts in small increments is key to successful productive end-of-semester critiques.  My current first-year students are coming from diverse backgrounds while in the midst of making enormous social adjustments, and a large percentage of them are international. Methods established in ESL/ELL language support education will be used as a central component in this session to explore concepts and vocabulary to draw students out and get them talking.

*Free For TBLC Members* Using Very Short Answer Questions (VSAs) Instead of MCQs

Latest Updates TBL Resources No Comments

Don’t miss the first of two new online educational development webinars presented by TBLC, beginning on September 29 and continuing on October 26. Each session will be facilitated by TBL practitioners from around the world who are using and succeeding with TBL in their classrooms. Register for one or both of these unique sessions to expand your practice in team-based learning! Already a member of TBLC? Your registration is free! Non-members can register for only $40 USD per session!

September Webinar:Using Very Short Answer Questions (VSAs) Instead of MCQ for TBL’s Readiness Assurance
Facilitators: Ernie Ghiglione (LAMS Foundation) and Claire Ann Canning (Duke-NUS Medical School)
When: September 29, 2021 from 10:00 AM – 11:00AM Eastern
Where: This event will be virtual! Join from anywhere in the world!
Session Information: In recent times, as teachers, we’ve been creating assessments mainly with multiple-choice questions -or single-best-answers (SBA). However, SBA questions can give a false impression of students’ competence while Very Short Answers (VSAs) questions have greater authenticity and can provide useful information regarding students’ cognitive errors, helping to improve learning as well as assessment.
