This pandemic has had a devastating effect in all ambits of society, fromthe economic fall that leads to high unemployment, lockdowns, and the need to impose socialdistance, health, and other rubrics of our lives [1].[2]This situation leads to radical changes in society's activities, particularly education.

Theseskills, which we call process skills due to the early roots of this project in the Process OrientedGuided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) community [4], are also referred to as transferable skills,professional skills, workplace skills, or soft skills. In STEM fields, a slow paradigm shift towardsstudent-centered learning has begun to extend opportunities to undergraduates to foster learninggains beyond the acquisition of disciplinary content. However, most classroom assessmentapproaches continue to be solely centered on the students’ mastery of content and do not assessstudent performance in the area of process skills. This is of significant concern because of thestrong influence assessment has on students

Themain opportunity that drives this study is that in the global pandemic where students signed upfor face-to-face interaction and instructors made an emergency transition to online instruction,how might we best engage students in the online environment?

Next, they compare their ideas withmultiple perspectives provided by others. In controlling traffic students often generate distinctstrategies that they share with their peers.
