Welcome to cspogil.org. This site contains activities and other resources to support using Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) in Computer Science (CS) and related disciplines.
Activities from the CS Activity Writing Program
Click here to view the 58 classroom-ready activities developed in January–August 2022. The CS Activity Writing Program was organized by the IntroCS POGIL Project. See the project website for publications about the Writing Program. These 58 activities were published by the POGIL Activity Clearinghouse as a special issue: Vol 3 No 2. Click here to read the editorial introducing the activities.
These 58 activities were developed for CS courses including but not limited to:
- CS 0,
- CS 1,
- CS 2,
- Computer Architecture,
- Databases,
- Discrete Mathematics,
- Game Development,
- Kotlin Programming, and
- Software Design.
