Week three

This week we are going deal with authoring and consider the application of TBL and PBL to online education and the large class setting.

Occasional issue with some of the PDF files: Mischief has gotten into some of the PDF files. Every now and then one will not open when you click the link. I'm not sure of the problem, but I've found that if you close the new window and click again on the link, the file will open. I have also found that if you download the file to your own computer (right click and choose the 'save as' option), you can open the saved copy without problem. Unsolved mystery.

• Reading:

  • Palsole, Sunay; Team-Based Learning in Asynchronous Online Settings

  • Robinson, Daniel H.; Technological Alternative to Paper-Based Components of Team Based Learning

  • Roberts, Chris; The introduction of large class problem-based learning into an undergraduate medical curriculum: an evaluation
  • Chapters 11-14 of Michaelsen
• Discussion: The wider application of TBL and PBL.
• Discovery:
  • Continue your own literature search and continue building your own bibliography.
• Writing: At least one TBL case. Try to make it as interdisciplinary as possible, requiring integration of basic and clinical sciences. Be sure to include the IRAT, GRAT, informational source to the students and the final summary.
