W hen structured well, collaborative learning can build computer science (CS) knowledge while growing a more inclusive student community [1,2] In this issue, we explore a specific kind of collaborative learning POGIL Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. As the developers of POGIL in CS describe it, in POGIL students work in teams on activities that are specifically designed to guide them to construct their own understanding of key concepts, and at the same time to develop important process skills such as communication, critical thinking, and problem solving. The instructor is not a lecturer, but an active facilitator of student learning [3]
