Content: the module aims to equip teaching staff with the necessary tools to use TEAMS functionalities for teaching purposes.

In the introductory part, the process of generating Teams for distance learning, using data from UGov/Esse3, will be explained.

Content: Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a teaching method that allows the use of small group work both in person, even in very large classrooms, and online. Team-Based Learning literally means learning based on teamwork, immediately evoking the image of a close-knit group of students learning together. How can we create student groups and help them work well together to the point where they can learn from each other and solve even complex problems? This is a challenge that TBL takes on — and wins! The module offers the opportunity to:

• have a direct experience of TBL
• evaluate the possibility of introducing TBL into one's own teaching

At the end of the module, participants should be able to understand the features of TBL and plan their own course using backward planning.
