Our modules and tutorials are being developed to help chemistry instructors and chemistry teaching assistants teach students enrolled in a chemistry laboratory course using Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) and the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH). These modules and tutorials are being developed to include digital video segments of instructors interacting with students in the laboratory. The digital video segments will be available on the web and on a DVD. A workbook will accompany the video segments to help instructors make decisions about what to do given a situation. Examples of these video segments and examples of the workbook will be presented and discussed.
