As a faculty developer, he has led a 17-year implementation of Team-Based Learning (TBL) in both UBC Engineering and the School of Nursing with a focus on active learning in large classrooms. Beyond his 39 years of experience in faculty development, support, and training at UBC, Jim has written the book Getting Started with Team-Based Learning.

He is an international TBL consultant and has worked with faculty all over the world and at schools in Australia, Canada, Korea, Lebanon, Pakistan, Uruguay, and the United States.

UBC is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm people (Musqueam; which means 'People of the River Grass') and Syilx Okanagan Nation. The land has always been a place of learning for the Musqueam and Syilx peoples, who for millennia have passed on their culture, history and traditions from one generation to the next.
