Using a Media Centre to Facilitate Team‐Based Learning

Abstract

Team‐based learning is a relatively new educational approach in which learning occurs in three phases. Team‐based learning is so named because in the third and final phase, students are organized into teams to participate in a classroom team‐based learning session. In the Department of Anesthesiology at Boston University Medical Center, a multi‐purpose Media Centre is used to facilitate the team‐based learning approach. This Media Centre facilitates the creation and study of team‐based learning educational materials distributed through a course website.
