TBL 101 workshop – caught on tape

These videos are from a TBL 101 workshop in November 2012 at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada

I used my standard TBL 101 materials in this workshop. They are available on my Workshop Materials page.

TBL at the University of British Columbia over the last 12 years

Forming Teams

In this segment you will learn how to form diverse teams for TBL quickly and efficiently
right in your class, right in front of your students by simply asking a few demographic-like
questions and forming an ordered line and counting off.

Readiness Assurance Process

The next stage is getting students to come to class prepared. This is achieved in
TBL by using the Readiness Assurance Process – In this segment faculty are in the
role of student – they do the reading, they then do the individual test, and
then get ready for team scratch off (IF-AT) card test

.

Why the Team Test is Important

This segment reviews why the Readiness Assurance process is so important and the
unique opportunities there are for learning at each different stage.
