Abstract:
Rapid advancements in technology and demands of our knowledge-based society quickly change
expectations and standards in higher education. The paradigm of predominantly linear process of
learning is shifting to set new trends in online education with applications to differing teaching and
learning styles. The paper discusses team-based learning in online education utilizing results of a survey
administered at a Midwest University’s Business Administration Program. Various tools and components of
team-based learning are evaluated. The findings confirm the importance of using rubrics and team-
based, small-group, learning for building effective learning communities to improve the online
experience.
