Join the Office of Teaching and Learning (OTL) and FeedbackFruits for an inspiring session on Team-Based Learning (TBL) with guest speaker Dr. Michelle Steinhilb, Professor of Genetics, Biotechnology, and Neuroscience at Central Michigan University (CMU). She’ll share her experience implementing TBL in live courses, focusing on the Individual and Team Readiness Assurance Tests (iRAT/tRAT) and their role in preparing students for collaborative, in-class problem-solving.

Beyond content mastery, TBL develops essential career-ready skills: teamwork, accountability, negotiation, and logical reasoning. The approach not only deepens learning but also saves faculty time in synchronous settings. We’ll also demonstrate how the full TBL process can be digitized within Brightspace using FeedbackFruits, making it efficient for both faculty and students.

FeedbackFruits is an educational technology with a suite of solutions for feedback & assessment as well as collaboration & engagement that is currently being piloted at the University of Guelph.
