Online Team Based Learning

Greetings from the first workshop at Team-Based Learning Collaborative Asia Pacific Community Symposium. Rosa Howard, University of Sydney, is talking on "Adapting TBL to Changing Times". This highlighted the benefits of providing text base input, as opposed from verbal. This raises an interesting issue as to if graduates need to be able to confidently talk in front of large groups. If it becomes routine to use computer mediated communication in the workplace talking to a group becomes an obsolete skill, like handwriting.
