Team-Based Learning Fellowships

On behalf of the Provost’s Office, the Center for Teaching & Faculty Development (CTFD) has developed a unique Team-Based Learning (TBL) program to explore teaching and learning strategies related to team-based learning in technologically-rich classroom environments. As part of the program, faculty fellows are awarded $1,000 to assist in the redesign of a course, and receive regular CTFD consultations on pedagogy and technology; one-on-one and group support during course planning, implementation and assessment; hands-on technological training; and monthly seminar meetings throughout the academic year.

Fellows utilize the two new TBL classrooms, which serve as a model for the five TBL classrooms planned for UMass Amherst’s New Academic Classroom Building (NACB). The classrooms feature round tables of nine, designed to support three groups of three students each and a variety of presentation and collaboration technologies.

The program is coordinated by the CTFD, in collaboration with Academic Computing-OIT and Academic Instructional Media Services-OIT (AIMS). The application period for 2012-2013 has ended. Please refer all questions to .
