Team-based learning

At the Sp 09 In-service, several of our faculty presented on Team-based learning (TBL) and how they've used it in designing significant learning experiences for their classes. Most notably faculty recounted how it has improved attendance and engagement while bringing up performance. Since the presentation I've had phone calls, email and several personal requests in the halls for more information.
We plan on interviewing our faculty and getting their insights (either on video of podcast) - because they are the experts on applying the methods to our unique environment. In the mean time.
