This chapter describes best practices for adapting traditional, face-to-face, team-based learning principles to develop online application exercise design, support effective facilitation, and use appropriate technology to promote effective online team collaboration. The unique challenges of online TBL applications include maintaining effective…

This chapter describes a series of international professional development workshops conducted in an online synchronous modality using team-based learning as an instructional strategy. The authors explore the potential of dynamic professional development training with today's technological tools as a natural evolution from traditional professional…

In order to guide educators step-by-step through an orientation process for an online team-based learning (TBL) course, this chapter describes principles for creating an orientation module for an online higher education course that employs online delivery following both standards from the Quality Matters Rubric for Higher Education and essential…

This chapter describes best practices to address the challenges posed for implementing the second stage of team-based learning (TBL), the Readiness Assurance Process (RAP), in online settings, and uses the experience of expert TBL users to suggest strategies for maintaining the essential aspects of the pedagogy.

Interprofessional education (IPE) provides healthcare students with educational experiences that will prepare them for the evolving team-based approach to healthcare.

This chapter describes the goals and structure of a service-learning experience integrated into a medical education curriculum. The curricular innovation fosters student understanding of social accountability, interprofessional teamwork as well as social determinants of health and can serve as an educational model for training future providers.

This chapter describes best practices for the peer evaluation process in online team-based learning (TBL). Formative peer evaluation is an essential element of effective course delivery for online TBL classes, and when done well, shapes a group of individuals with a shared set of tasks into an interdependent team of learners. More generally,…

This chapter describes the Integrated Online Team-Based Learning (IO-TBL) model, an online TBL course design which utilizes both asynchronous and synchronous modes of engagement to maximize the benefits of TBL in an online environment. Students' perceptions of the effective and ineffective aspects of the IO-TBL model are also reported.

This chapter describes two case studies that highlight how courses can be taught simultaneously in classrooms across partnering university campuses using the effective, evidence-based team-based learning (TBL) method. The objective is to assist faculty in effectively using TBL in a synchronous virtual collaborative space.

Building collaboration with students into the teaching process brings with it many benefits for learning, but it also requires accepting the risk and unease that comes from redefining the roles of students and teachers.

We discuss how a professor worked with six students to design and implement a complex teaching strategy for a course, and used the students' assistance to create a sustainable model for future iterations of the course.
