Team-Based Learning: a seminar/workshop presentation

10 December: Rm 1.28 (Marjoribanks BANK SA Teaching Suite), NEXUS 10.

Presented by Cate Jerram (Business School, University of Adelaide).

Team-Based Learning is a teaching approach that uses student 'teams' to create accelerated active/dynamic learning in lectures, and put an emphasis on student accountability for learning.  It changes the lecturer's role from that of the 'Sage on the Stage' who tells students what the textbook says and what to learn or do, ato that of an expert guide available to students as they enage with core concepts in discussion and activities in class, having already done preparatory reading and assignments.  This flexible approach can be adopted in whole or in part to suit your teaching context.

This seminar/workshop will include: an introduction to the principles of TBL; and a demonstration of the core pracfices, method and methodology.  It will allow you to sample the ways in which TBL might work for you in the classroom.
