Join us in St. Petersburg, Florida for the 14th Annual TBLC Conference!
The
Team-Based Learning Collaborative (TBLC) is a group dedicated to
supporting educators and trainers from a variety of educational &
professional development settings that have implemented or wish to
implement team-based learning (TBL). Our recent conferences have
included educators from a broad range of backgrounds, including medical
education, other health-related disciplines, business and social science
disciplines, graduate and undergraduate education, professional
schools, and K-12 education. We have benefited from everyone’s
experience and wisdom as we strive to share teaching resources, mentor
one another, and promote the dissemination, evaluation, and scholarship
of team-based learning.
We
invite you to the 14th Annual Conference on Team-Based Learning, which
will be held March 5-7, 2015 in St. Petersburg, Florida, with
pre-meeting workshops on March 5, 2015. The Conference presentations
take the form of plenary presentations, workshops, oral presentations,
and posters.
You
are invited to submit poster abstracts on any topics relevant to
team-based learning. We are asking for abstracts for three different
tracks.
Tracks include the following:
Fundamentals track –
for novices to TBL to help them learn the essential skills to get a TBL
program started at their own institution. An example might include a
workshop on facilitation techniques, or “How to Write Good Readiness
Assurance Tests”
Innovations track –
for those who are experienced with TBL to provide information about
experiences with particular types of courses or learners or new or
innovative techniques. An example might include a poster titled “A TBL
Science Course for 9th Graders” or a workshop titled “How to start a
Web-Based TBL Course”.
Research/Scholarship track –
for those interested in presenting findings from educational research
or research studies about TBL. Research submissions may be from
descriptive, semi-quantitative (e.g., survey results), or quantitative
(e.g., experimental) research. An example might be a workshop entitled
“Getting a research program started in your TBL course” or it could be
an oral presentation in which you present research that you have done
such as “Evidence of standardized test performance gains in Pharmacy
students following implementation of a TBL curriculum”.
Below is a brief summary of a poster abstract.
Deadline for submission: November 15, 2014.
While
we are open to all TBL-related submissions, we are particularly eager
to receive submissions focused on non-medical applications of TBL. We
look forward to receiving your submissions and hope to see you in St.
Petersburg in 2015!
Sincerely yours,
Karla Kubitz & Tatyana Pashnyak
Program Chairs, TBLC Conference 2015
