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
*********************************
Active learning is one of the most powerful teaching approaches you can use to maximize your students’ learning. That’s why we’ve created a tutorial and workshop to help you familiarize yourself with the basics of active learning, to provide you with some guidance for preparing to teach a lesson that uses active learning, and to offer you an opportunity to practice teaching. During the microteaching workshop on September 4, 2014, you will teach a 10 minute lesson that incorporates active learning to a small cohort of fellow participants and receive personalized feedback from a professional teaching consultant from CETL.
When you register, you will be provided access to a T-Square site (https://t-square.gatech.edu/portal/site/21072033-9d34-4f0d-8724-900ce0c0...) where you will find the Active Learning tutorial (https://t-square.gatech.edu/access/content/group/21072033-9d34-4f0d-8724...). In order to participate in the microteaching workshop, please complete the tutorial and submit your lesson plan prior to teaching your practice lesson. Participants who submit their lesson plans before August 21, 2014 will receive early feedback from a CETL consultant. Please understand that we will not allow individuals who have not completed this tutorial and submitted a lesson plan to participate in the microteaching workshop.
