Team-based learning: Effectively flipping your course

Posted on May 21st, 2014

Jim Sibley, the director of the Centre for Instructional Support at UBC’s Faculty of Applied Science, explores Team-Based Learning (TBL). TBL enables instructors to realize the full potential of the flipped classroom by providing coherent organizational structures to course design. According to Sibley, “TBL helps in addressing two of the main questions you need to ask when thinking about flipping your course. First, how can I ensure my students prepare? Second, when students are prepared, what am I going to do with the free class time?” Sibley highlights that “because TBL classroom activities are built on students giving students feedback, TBL scales very well to large classroom settings (200-400).”
