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

"The preparation of a MOOC, unlike that of a traditional course, requires working with videographers, instructional designers, IT specialists, and platform specialists," writes Karen Head, assistant professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, in a guest blog documenting the development of a Massive Online Open Course for first-year English composition. "Even with our team of 19, we still needed several other people to provide support." Source: The Chronicle of Higher Education, April 3, 2013
