Updates from the TBLC Membership Committee

Dear Colleagues,

We appreciate your enthusiasm and commitment to the Team-Based Learning Collaborative (TBLC), and thank you for your support as an Institutional Member.  Research to establish the credibility of TBL as an evidence-based strategy has grown exponentially. TBLC members are looking for more ways to engage in research and partnerships to better understand this teaching strategy and the impact it has on learning.

TBLC membership dues allow us to continue developing and sharing TBL best practices, instruct large number of educators about the TBL process, support sharing of TBL resources and networking of TBL users within and across different disciplines, accredit TBL trainers to further promote and support this method of education, and fund research projects about TBL.  In order to finance increased research and to ensure the continuing viability of the TBLC the membership fees have been reviewed, and we have determined that the unlimited institutional membership category is not sustainable.  From the start of 2015, the new TBLC Member fee structure will be as follows:


Individual             1 year   $  75
Individual             2 year   $130
Individual             3 year   $180
Institutional          1 year    $300      (up to 5 named members)

We look forward to your continuing support for the TBLC and for your faculty who are using TBL in their teaching and educational research.  We ask you to encourage more of your faculty and staff to join the TBLC in 2015, whether via individual or institutional membership.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.  Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Michele Clark, RN, PhD                                                Wayne T. McCormack, PhD
