POGIL Activity Clearinghouse 

The PAC contains student-centered instructional activities at various stages of development centered around the POGIL pedagogy. The purpose of this site is to facilitate the collaboration, peer review, and classroom testing stages associated with creating high-quality materials meeting the standards approved by The POGIL Project.

Single activities that meet the highest POGIL standards are designated as "POGIL Approved" by the PAC. Visit this link to view our growing collection of these activities.

Before you can access content available through the PAC, you must attend a Collaborative Feedback Training  Session. This online training is hosted several times a year. The $20 registration for this session includes login credentials for the PAC.

Truly Awesome POGIL Activity Showcase (TAPAS)

TAPAS is a compilation of exemplary POGIL activities for a wide variety of disciplines.  These activities will be posted on this section of the website and can be used to give future workshop participants and other interested parties examples of how POGIL can be used in the classroom.

The name TAPAS serves as an analogy for the small portions of well-prepared food (or activities) that are served, shared, and encourage conversation.  TAPAS activities demonstrate the breadth of POGIL implementation and provide an additional tool for practitioners to find and share with each other.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact Shawn Simonson, TAPAS Curator, at [email protected]
