What is Team Based Learning?

The pedagogical tool Team Based Learning enables instructors to easily perform multiple steps of team-based learning: Individual pre-work, individual Readiness Assurance Test (iRAT), team Readiness Assurance Test (tRAT), and Peer evaluation in online, hybrid, and in-person settings.

Why is Team Based Learning useful for learning?

The Readiness Assurance Process (RAP) of Team-Based Learning (TBL) is critical in improving students’ knowledge uptake, test scores and self-directed learning. With the rise of remote education, instructors struggle to maintain students’ engagement and reduce free-riding in the RAP stage. This is where the FeedbackFruits Team Based Learning tool comes in. The tool helps instructors optimize the implementation of team-based learning.

How does Team Based Learning work?

With Team Based Learning, instructors can test students’ knowledge individually and as a group before a team-based learning activity.

Before starting with the iRAT and tRAT steps, instructors can add a Pre-Work step, where they assign students interactive documents or multimedia material to prepare for the activity.

The tool then enables students to complete the individual Readiness Assurance Test (iRAT) and team Readiness Assurance Test (tRAT) steps which consist of several quiz questions, first completed by students individually, then in teams in scratch-off mode.



Instructors can also facilitate the peer evaluation step within the Team Based Learning tool, where students give feedback to each other on their group contribution.
