Abstract

Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) is a method of learning that combines guided inquiry and group learning for content knowledge as well as process skill acquisition. Paper-based POGIL activities lack the facility of real-time feedback, progress tracking, and data gathering. In this project, an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) has been used to transform POGIL activities into their computer-based version but maintaining the collaborative environment. The system integrates a React/Vite frontend, a Node/Express backend, and a MariaDB database. The platform includes Google Sheets-based activity construction, role-based collaborative learning, artificial intelligence-driven feedback, and end-to-end data tracking. Students are instructed in groups of 3–4 with assigned roles (Facilitator, Spokesperson, Quality Control, Process Analyst) and post collaborative responses. Every group also has active students and observers, where the active student can type responses individually while observers contribute ideas and feedback. One of the goals of this arrangement is to foster turn-taking, with involved students randomly changing seats so that each one remains on their toes and alert, since they do not know when their turn will come. Instructors are also supported through student and teacher dashboards, real-time progress monitoring, and back-end database support for learning analytics. Methods Results
