Team-based Learning, Self-directed learning, and problem-based learning are different pedagogical styles. Each has its own pros and cons. We will give practical examples of each and allow input from audience. We will discuss current challenges in light of a new generation of students that seem to like shortened versions and more focused education. The talk will be very interactive and audience will be asked to actively participate with the two speakers. We will emphasize that styles of learning need to match preferences of students and to take into consideration background and preparation of individual students. We will also cover group-based learning versus individual learning plans. This will all be done through one-minute activities that will involve the audience and would be practical case studies of what we are trying to convey. The interaction is expected to be organic and to be partly guided by the input of the audience.
