Teaching online with Team-Based Learning

Chapter 11 in Teaching Economics Online, 2024, pp 167-186 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Team-Based Learning (TBL) offers a highly structured whole-course pedagogy that, when implemented in online economics courses, can elicit a high cognitive and social presence from students and gives instructors the means to establish an effective teaching presence. The readiness assurance process (RAP) motivates individual student effort to prepare before class activities. TBL application exercises (AEs) promote team discussions about how the economic concepts under study apply to the engaging case posed by each AE. The simultaneous revelation of teams’ choices leads to a vigorous class-wide discussion among team reporters. A fully synchronous online course functions much as a face-to-face course does. Asynchronous and hybrid online TBL courses present logistical challenges that this chapter helps to resolve.
