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

Postsecondary education is now largely a requirement for entry into the middle class, but costs are causing traditional college and university programs to be increasingly out of reach for many. The Georgia Institute of Technology has had success with scalable online programs that provide quality education at a fraction of the cost of on-campus programs. However, there have been challenges in bringing these programs to fruition with a consistent student experience. Building on lessons learned, this paper proposes Scalable Advanced Learning Ecosystems that combine personalized learning, intelligent tutoring, learning analytics, and other innovative educational improvements to address student and instructional needs in a holistic fashion.
