Video Demonstration
Many people say they didn't really understand what Team-Based Learning
was all about until they actually "saw" it in a real class.
So we have videotaped portions of a Spring 2002 course where
Larry Michaelsen, the originator of team-based learning,
is using Team-Based Learning in the classroom. We have divided this
video material into 11 segments that illustrate various aspects
of the whole process, as listed below.
To view this video material, you will need INTERNET EXPLORER
and WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 9.0 OR ABOVE. Windows Media
Player is available for all versions of the Windows operating system
(Windows 98, 2000, ME and XP) and also for Macintosh (OSX, as well
as OS 8-9). A free version of the current edition of Windows Media
Player may be downloaded
from Microsoft.
To VIEW THIS VIDEO MATERIAL, double click
on the link to the right of each segment description. This
will bring up a new window with a small video viewer where the video
clip will load automatically and begin to play. Most of the segments
are 4-6 minutes long. At the end of the video clip use the BACK
arrow key to return to this page where you can view the additional
clips.
In order to view the video in a larger format: Once the
video begins to play, RIGHT CLICK on the screen, go to ZOOM, and
then to Full Screen. There may be some distortion of the picture
in full screen mode.
| Understanding the Differences Between "Groups"
and "Teams": The key to successful use of team-based
learning is knowing how to transform groups into teams which
then are capable of producing powerful learning. |

A General Introduction to Team-Based Learning: General
comments on team-based learning and this video material.
|
Clip01_General_Intro |
| Introducing Students to Team-Based Learning: What do
students need to know about team-based learning when they first
start a course that is going to be quite different from what
they are used to? |
Clip02_Student_Intro
|
| Establishing a Climate of Open Dialogue: How do you
quickly get students ready to engage in the open dialogue that
is essential in team-based learning? |
Clip03_Open_Dialogue |
| Forming Groups: What principles and procedures can
you use to get the class divided into groups that can become
effective teams? |
Clip04_Forming_Groups |
| 4 Questions for Designing Learning Activities: These
four questions can be used to design learning activities in
any course. |
Clip05_Four_Questions |
| Giving a Practice Readiness Assessment Test (R.A.T.):
What is the nature of and reasons for giving a "practice"
R.A.T.? |
Clip06_Practice_RAT |
| Setting Grade Weights: This is a special activity that
really convinces students how different this course will be
and gets students to buy-in to the grading system. |
Clip07_Grade_Weights |
| Using the Readiness Assurance Process (R.A.P.) in Two Different
Ways: Michaelsen explains and demonstrates the several different
steps in the R.A.P., a critical starting phase of team-based
learning. He also demonstrates two ways of scoring the RATs:
one with an IF-AT (Immediate Feedback - Assessment Technique)
form and the other with a Scantron machine. |
Clip08_Readiness_Assurance |
| Running Application Exercises: How does a teacher set
up good application exercises that will help students learn
how to think about and use the course material to make meaningful
decisions? A critical part of this process is enabling each
team to get feedback on its own thinking from other teams in
the class. |

| Assessing the Course and Team Effectiveness at Mid-Term:
How do you get students to reflect on how well the course is
going and what their team is doing well and not doing well? |
