A main element of the communities is thatparticipants were asked to select a research-supported interactive teaching strategy to implementin the course(s) they taught. The learning community served as a forum for gaining ideas ofpossible strategies, as well as for sharing plans and results and receiving informal feedback andsupport on both.

To create the largest possibleimpact in a rural educational community, this program selects participants who are the only mathor science teacher in their school building.

Compared to most other active learning strategies,POGIL is more explicitly constructive because of the way its activities are designed andfacilitated.

To that end, the projectincludes many aspects of real-world engineering, including teamwork, budgeting, planning aproject schedule, communicating orally and in writing, documenting, programming amicrocontroller, constructing and wiring a device, and, of course
