Peer Instruction (PI) is a learning activity that lets students solve a difficult multiple-choice question individually, submit their answer, discuss with peers to solve the problem collaboratively, and then submit the answer again. Despite plentiful evidence to support its effectiveness, PI has not been widely adopted by undergraduate computing instructors due to low awareness of PI, the effort needed to create PI questions, the limited instructional time needed for PI activities during lectures, and potential adverse reactions from students.
