About this event

Team-Based Learning (TBL) was developed in 1979 by Larry Michaelsen to foster engagement and collaboration in large classrooms. Over time, educators have adapted TBL to meet evolving needs. In this session, Steve Schneid from University of California San Diego explains why he chose a modified TBL approach—emphasizing higher-order IRAT and TRAT items—to enhance student success. Join the conversation with Steve Schneid and his students on why they decided to modify theTBL approach to suit their learning context.

Steve will share the components and activities he includes in his modified TBL approach. He will also share how he uses InteDashboard to streamline the delivery of his TBL session. Additionally, you'll hear firsthand accounts from postbaccalaureate premedical and medical students about their experiences with this modified method.

Learning objectives

By the end of this online workshop, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the rationale for using a higher-order IRAT/TRAT items
  • Describe the changes to the traditional TBL structure to use higher-order IRAT/TRAT items
  • Generate higher-order IRAT/TRAT items

Who this is for

  • Educators and Instructional Designers who are interested in exploring how a modified TBL approach can enhance learning outcomes and student engagement.
  • Faculty and Program Leaders looking to understand how student feedback can drive broader faculty support for TBL initiatives.
  • Advisors, Academic Technologists, and Administrators seeking practical insights on leveraging InteDashboard to streamline TBL implementation and analyze performance data.

What our workshop participants say

What our workshop participants say

I work in the administration with tasks like adapting the syllabus to the teaching and assessment so it is very valuable to understand how TBL works in real life to be able to transform it to a legal language.

Carolina Carneck

Karolinska Institute, Administrative Officer

Being on the learner side, exploring how learners would utilize the platform were the most valuable aspect of the workshop.

Shikara Poblete

University of Santo Tomas, Faculty - Civil Engineering

Learning from the students' perspective is the most valuable aspect of these TBL-styled workshops.

Holly Turula

Western Michigan University, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Science

This was valuable to me as a refresher since I have not tried to run an online TBL since spring 2020. It was also valuable to network with people from other institutions and hear how they are using TBL in their curriculum.

Rachel Hopkins

SUNY Upstate Medical University, Associate Professor, Medicine

We have been doing TBL for a number of years and I think these workshops gave us a better idea of what we are doing right, what we are doing wrong, as well as just raising our game in general. Also, we put together our TBL sessions in an ad hoc manner, but having tutors that have done hundreds of these sessions discuss the reasoning behind the way they do things gave me a lot to think about. We formally focused on the mechanics of running TBL rather than just trying to "put together a case". It just feels more structured and focused now than it did before the workshop.

Ronald Mackenzie, PhD

Texas McGovern Medical Center, Assistant Professor, Research

Very well organized workshop, covered many questions about how online TBL works, emphasized issues/problems in moving online
