The Centre to host a team-based learning institute in November

September 23, 2019 —

The Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning is hosting a Team-Based Learning Fundamentals Institute from November 1 – 2, 2019. The institute is taking place at the University of Manitoba and will be facilitated by team-based learning experts from the Team-Based Learning Collaborative.

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an evidence-based form of collaborative group learning that enables instructors to provide enriched, memorable learning experiences in which students demonstrate increased in-class engagement and deeper learning (Briggs & Tang, 2011). The institute will provide attendees with the fundamental knowledge, resources and skills to design and implement TBL in university/college settings.

At the end of the institute, participants will have completed the requirements to obtain the “Knowledge of the Fundamentals of TBL Certificate” from the Team-Based Learning Collaborative.

Entrepreneurial mindset reaps rewards at Better Together

The University of Manitoba continued its support of entrepreneurial thinking with a second Better Together learning event November 12 and 13, hosted by The Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning. Fittingly held during Global Entrepreneurship Week, the event brought together nearly 50 participants from 11 different faculties together in a non-competitive design sprint to solve real challenges facing the university.
