Learning & Teaching Collaborative Resources

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a collaborative learning strategy that engages students in higher-order thinking during class. This collection of resources is being developed to support the Team-Based Learning faculty learning community, a group of faculty working together and supporting each other to implement some form of TBL in their courses. This collection of resources is in progress and will be expanded during summer and fall of 2017.
