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 $2,500 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 will utilize the two new TBL classrooms scheduled to go online in fall 2011, which will serve as a model for the five TBL classrooms planned for UMass Amherst’s new Academic Building. 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 2011-2012 has ended. Please refer all questions to .
