There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Using Technology to Improve Student Practice
We know that it’s important for students to work with key concepts in order to master them. Yet what kind of practice promotes learning? How can we engage students with each other as well as with us as they learn course material?
This session will highlight how two faculty are using technology to improve student practice. Come join the conversation about the strategies they’re using and what works for them.
