Team-based learning is one of the most effective pedagogical approaches to encourage collaboration and critical thinking, but it can be laborious to implement, deliver, and manage, especially for large cohorts. To help combat this challenge, FeedbackFruits developed the LMS-integrated Team Based Learning solution to digitize the TBL process and make it much more streamlined, seamless, and engaging for both online and in-person participants.
Join this webinar for a deep dive into the new and improved FeedbackFruits Team Based Learning tool, explore best practices from TBL experts at Texas Christian University School of Medicine, and learn how Boston College scaled TBL to foster collaboration and employability skills.
