InteDashboard (Team Based Learning)

InteDashboard is a Team Based learning (TBL) platform that integrates with Blackboard. It helps teaching staff implement TBL sessions, helping students improve knowledge through individual testing and group collaboration.

TBL is a teaching strategy that offers the benefits of small group learning within large classes by creating opportunities for students to apply conceptual knowledge through a systematic process of preparatory work, individual assessment, teamwork and immediate feedback.

Key Features

• Individual Readiness Assurance Test (IRAT) This is a multiple-choice questionnaire based on information in the prework activity. Students answer individually
• Team Readiness Assurance Test (TRAT) This is a multiple-choice questionnaire consisting of the same questions as the IRAT. Students answer in teams
• Application This is an activity to consolidate learning from both the prework and RAT sections, students should participate in teams and can present to the rest of the class
• Peer Evaluation Staff can configure this optional step which allows students to evaluate their teammates contribution in the TRAT and Application activities. There is also an option for self-evaluation
• Each step in the process can be configured to run either synchronously or asynchronously
