Team based learning (TBL)

Team-based learning (TBL) is a teaching method based on active learning and working within groups. Here you will find more information, materials, and links to courses.

The purpose of team-based learning

TBL prepares students to be able to solve problems in their future professional role.

Let's start with an interview with Professor Larry Michaelsen, the inventor of team-based learning by MedEd studio:

Course on TBL

KI offers ongoing courses on TBL, both at introductory and advanced levels, including workshops to design your own TBL module.

You can find all opportunities in the Medical program's course room for teachers in Canvas.

You can also check the calendar of courses and webinars in teaching and learning. The courses are organized by the Unit for Teaching and Learning (UoL).

Self-study course

There is a self-study course that covers the basics of TBL in Canvas Catalog. You also get tools for creating a TBL module (not to be confused with modules in Canvas). The course is asynchronous, and you can complete it at your own pace.
