Enhancing TBL in Medical Education: Integrating ScholarRx and InteDashboard

About this event

Medical educators are often called upon to develop new instructional materials and learn new technical skills to support active learning. These motivated but time-challenged faculty can overcome barriers by utilising two innovative digital learning platforms, together, to create effective and efficient team-based learning (TBL) sessions.

ScholarRx delivers comprehensive and customizable learning resources and review materials that can be leveraged to create and deliver a TBL experience using InteDashboard, an all-in-one platform that can be used to deliver TBL classes in in-person, online, and hybrid settings. In this 90-minute session, gain the skills to plan and implement TBL using both platforms to support effective active learning. Large group discussion will be framed by case study, demonstrating the application of Rx Bricks collections and Qmax questions as instructional materials for TBL using InteDashboard.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this online workshop, participants should be able to:

1. Apply essential principles and practices of team-based learning (TBL).
2. Plan a TBL session using ScholarRx and InteDashboard resources.
3. Implement TBL in the classroom by leveraging ScholarRx and InteDashboard.
