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

Have you ever wished to assess student mastery of content and skills through real world deliverables?
Electronic portfolios push assessment of student learning beyond objective multiple choice exams. They provide a platform for students to share what they are learning with peers and the world when they graduate. Georgia Tech has adopted the open-source electronic portfolio platform Mahara to take teaching and learning at Tech to another level.
In this brown bag luncheon, GT learning technologists and instructors will share the effectiveness of using electronic portfolios for learning, as well as showcase how instructors are using Mahara in creative and innovative ways on campus.
SPEAKERS:
Daniel Haynes, Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning
Faith McKay, Stamps Health Services
Atira Robinson, Office of Institute Diversity
