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

Lessons Learned
Engaging Large Classes
Doug Flamming, School of History, Technology and Society
Working with First-Year Students
Ann Gerondelis, School of Architecture
As teachers, we want to reach as many of our learners as possible. However, this can be particularly daunting in some class contexts. Of the challenges most often noted by faculty in this regard are engaging students in large classes and engaging first year students, who are just beginning the transition to college from high school. Doug Flamming, winner of Georgia Tech's prestigious Geoffrey Eichholz Teaching Award, will lead us in a conversation about his lessons learned in engaging students in large classes. Ann Gerondelis, Director of Architectures' groundbreaking Common First Year, will lead us in a conversation about working with first year students.
