Faculty often struggle with how to implement active learning in their traditional curricula. Team-based learning (TBL) offers a flexible solution that can make this a reality. In this workshop participants will work in teams and experience how a TBL case is structured and executed. The large group discussion at the end will address planning challenges and offer some strategies on how participants can accomplish this at their own institutions, working with content already in place, to implement TBL in small or large ways.

Learning Objectives:

• Articulate the sequence of activities associated with the team-based learning process.
• Discuss the qualities of an engaging Application Activity.
• Strategize how to apply the team-based learning pedagogy to curricula already in place at their home institutions.
