Renée Cole (Professor of Chemistry, University of Iowa) is Project Director for the ANA-POGIL project, a consortium of analytical chemists and chemical educators who authored these guided-inquiry activities. Professor Cole has held leadership roles in the POGIL Project at the national and international level, and is a director of the ongoing Enhancing Learning through Improved Process Skills in STEM project, where she (along with Professors Juliette Lantz and Suzanne Ruder) has developed a series of feedback rubrics and accompanying assessment strategies, as well as professional development workshops to support students and instructors in the development of key professional skills across STEM disciplines. Renée’s research focuses on issues related to how students learn chemistry and how that can guide the design of instructional materials and teaching strategies as well on efforts related to faculty development and the connection between chemistry education research and the practice of teaching.
