Abstract

The author implemented team-based learning (TBL) in a credit-bearing information literacy course that meets a general education requirement at the University at Albany, State University of New York. TBL is a highly structured teaching method that includes a number of components not found in a more traditional use of teams in the classroom. It required substantive changes in the course; these changes were notably repaid by the impact on student preparedness and engagement. The main elements of team-based learning are explained in the setting of this course. [ARTICLE]Jacobson: Team-Based Learning in an Information Literacy Course
