In 2018, the informatics faculty team at Mercer University were awarded an AAC&U mini-grant on Civic Learning in the Major. To meet the grant's requirement, the department conducted different activities. These activities included two intensive workshops. The study design was before and after quasi-experimental research of two steps: 1. Piloting the study survey on the informatics faculty who attended the first mini-grant workshop. 2. A before and after quasi-experimental trial, on the students and the informatics faculty who attended the second workshop and did not participate in the first workshop. First workshop: Faculty. There was no significant statistical relationship between the participants' years of teaching experience and the percentage of the questions the participants correctly answered. Second Workshop: Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test used to measure the relationships between before- and after-responses of the participants. There was a significant statistical difference between the studied variables.
