Team Based Learning Techniques for our Changing Classrooms

Team Based Learning, Student Engagement, Collaborative Classroom Activities

In this session we demonstrate quick and easy ways to enable students to learn together during class time. Originally conceived by Larry Michaelson and his colleagues (1982), Team Based Learning (TBL) was designed to engage students in larger classroom settings. Using his and others’ subsequent research, we adopted and expanded this technique for our management classes. Here we share a TBL Power and Influence activity: the “Drink the Kool-Aid” case. Participants will experience a variety of team based learning activities that can be adopted across multiple classroom settings. Attendees will leave with fresh ideas for their ever changing teaching landscapes.
