For the iRAT (Individual Readiness Assurance Test) and tRAT (Team Readiness Assurance Test) phases,
you can use the FeedbackFruits tool available on Blackboard
TBL Tool description
(IRAT) PHASE - INDIVIDUAL READINESS ASSURANCE TEST
Students take a multiple choice test to check their knowledge individually.
Scores are not revealed in this phase.
(TRAT) PHASE - TEAM READINESS ASSURANCE TEST
Students take the same test but this time in groups.
Teams can be imported from Blackboard
Questions are automatically copied from (IRAT) to (TRAT)
The tool selects one student to be the Team leader - Group Representative. As they work in teams, they must agree on the correct answer, but only one student should submit the answers. The tool automatically selects the first student who accesses it, but the professor can also choose the leader.
Students get immediate feedback. *Scratch-off questions: if the selected answer by the team is incorrect they have more attempts until they get to the right answer.
They get fewer points for each attempt.
The answers and progress are automatically updated for the rest of the team members.
Deadlines to open / close both tests can be scheduled or set manually
Analytics (dashboard) to identify difficult questions to provide clarification

All groups show their answers at the same time. (simultaneous report)
Peer Evaluation: Students must be aware that they will be accountable for their contributions to their team. Contributing to team success is more than just knowing the right answer. Team members need to be rewarded for supporting each other´s learning, mediating conflict, promoting discussion and supporting the over all functioning of the team.

TBL students came to class better prepared because they have to take a test.
During TBL sessions all students participate: sessions are more interactive.
TBL students must put in practice what they have learnt and defend their answers.
TBL students develop the following skills: Problem solving, Critical thinking, Communication, Negotiation, Team management.
TBL: Better results in group test than in individual test. – students learn from their group mates.
TBL scales very well to large classroom settings.
TBL enhances the Learning experience.
