Abstract
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a large group, peer teaching method that can also be described as an expert-led, interactive and analytical teaching strategy. TBL keeps the class together (large group) with one or more expert(s) while the students apply the content to specific problems (analytical) in small groups (interactive) at intervals during the learning session. The students are expected to prepare prior to the session. Content is used throughout the session rather than simply introduced. This approach allows students to practice with the content under the watchful eye of the expert.
