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

Research on effective teaching in higher education highlights multiple approaches to success in the classroom. But when it comes to learning, what really matters? What helps students in a rigorous academic environment master course content? What makes students want to go beyond what’s required and learn for themselves? How can faculty create a "healthy" learning climate that doesn't involve spoon-feeding?
Building on the Thank a Teacher notes that Georgia Tech students submitted last semester, this session will explore specific strategies that our students say have a powerful impact on their learning. Come hear from your colleagues about what is working in their classrooms and share your experiences as well.
