Abstract

"I'm paying big dollars to teach myself. Why?" This paper reflects on, and evaluates a modified team-based learning (MTBL) approach that attempts to engage students in active involvement in the learning process. A social inclusion project prompted the introduction of different teaching methods that encourage student ownership of, and involvement in their own learning. The MTBL approach was implemented into a second year undergraduate subject and a postgraduate subject in the School of Management and Marketing at the University of Wollongong.
