Who should attend?

(TBL) is a teaching strategy that offers the benefits of small group learning within large classes by creating opportunities for 天美传媒 to apply conceptual knowledge through a systematic process of preparatory work, individual assessment, teamwork and immediate feedback.

 
This half-day workshop is designed to prepare staff to plan and facilitate team-based learning within their undergraduate or postgraduate programmes. The workshop uses an experiential approach to allow participants to explore the nature of TBL and experience its educational value by being on the receiving end. This is then followed by an opportunity to discuss the practicalities of how to design and deliver TBL within new and existing modules.
