40 Days until the 9th Annual TBLC Meeting

As we are getting closer to the 9th Annual TBLC meeting you will want to bookmark the website for frequent updates regarding the program contents.

For your "To Do" List:

1) Have you made your hotel reservation? If not there are only a few days left before the room block will be released and our special rate will no longer be available.

2) Have you registered? Doing so before going to New Orleans will ensure a smooth check-in at registration.

3) Have you booked your airline flights? Right now many airlines are offering reduced travel due to the economic downturn.

Looking forward to seeing in in the "Big Easy!"

Hands-on TBL 101 Workshop Opportunity

During the 9th Annual Team-Based Learning Collaborative Meeting to be held March 3 – 5, 2010, attendees will also have the opportunity to participant in a hands-on TBL 101 Workshop:

TBL 101

This is the single best introduction to TBL. It is conducted in a TBL format, participants must prepare ahead, take an IRAT, and engage actively with their assigned team members. The structure, process, and essential characteristics of an effective TBL module are emphasized.

By the conclusion of this workshop, the participant will be able to:

• Explain the key components of a successful TBL module.
• Outline how they would construct a TBL module from a set of objectives.
• Describe how they might convert a course/lecture they already teach into a TBL module.
• Illustrate how to transform a small group into a productive learning-team

Register today as space will be limited for this Pre-Conference workshop.
