Introduction to Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL)
Clif Kussmaul

This workshop introduces computing educators to Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry
Learning (POGIL). In a POGIL classroom, teams of 3-4 learners work on activities with
a particular structure based on learning cycles. Through scripted inquiry and investigation,
learners discover concepts and construct their own knowledge. Using assigned team roles
and other scaffolding, learners develop process skills and individual responsibility. The
teacher is not a lecturer, but an active facilitator who helps all students to be engaged
and achieve the learning objectives. POGIL is an evidence-based approach, and has
been shown to significantly improve student outcomes. More....

Improving IS
Student Decisions: A Framework for Debiasing IS Projects
John Drake

Beth Lang Golub
Prospect Press VT

Projects are a powerful way to help students learn IS concepts.
Yet, student results are often wildly inconsistent in quality. Is there a way to
systemically improve the quality of projects made by students to create higher quality results?
This presentation introduces a framework for evaluating project design that strategically
debiases student thinking. By instituting an array of task-based and behavioral-based
debiasing techniques, instructors can design a course to effectively limit or mitigate the biases
of students. This framework has been used in a project for an e-commerce course,
but opportunities abound in other courses. This presentation will be interactive,
with worksheets and activities to spark conversation.

A dynamic, interactive discussion of how student populations have changed
and how professors can adjust instructional designs to meet these changes. While many
classes include significant numbers of ESL students and while numerous students receive
accommodations for cognitive challenges such as ADHD, little is done to meet the needs
of these students aside from allowing additional time for assignments or assessments.
Often, these accommodations alienate students by requiring them to use alternative
examination sites such as testing centers, which can exacerbate feelings of separation
from the rest of the class. More.....
