Join the Friends of NMC Flickr Group!

Alan Levine — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:35:26 -0700

Photography and photo sharing has long been an activity NMC people have actively engaged in-- attendees at the 2009 Summer Conference shared nearly 2500 photos tagged nmc 2009 in Flickr. We use Flickr very extensively to power many of the NMC web sites, but we had overlooked something that seems like an obvious thing to do.

It was via twitter that Alan Wolf of the University of Wisconsin, Madison suggested

...getting around to putting my photos into groups, and looked for an appropriate NMC Flickr group. Would NMC make a general one?

We had created one for celebrating the NMC's 15th anniversary, but had not created a place for the NMC community to share photos from NMC events and activities. So we now have a Friends off the NMC Flickr group where anyone (NMC Members, people who attend our events, or just people who we connect with in our travels, both real and virtual) can share their favorite NMC related photographs.

You can find our group and join us in Flickr at

NMC Announces 2009 Center of Excellence Award Recipients

Nancy Reeves — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:36:51 -0700

The New Media Consortium (NMC), an international consortium of colleges, universities, and museums, today announced the recipients of the 2009 NMC Center of Excellence Award. The award, the highest honor bestowed by the NMC, recognizes demonstrated excellence and outstanding achievement in the application of technology to learning or creative expression.

Symbolized by a specially struck medallion suspended in a translucent obelisk, the Center of Excellence Award has been designed purposefully to make it distinct from other award or recognition programs. Colleges do not compete for the award, nor is it granted within predefined categories. The selection process is based on the MacArthur Awards, and like that program, the nominators and others involved in the selection process remain anonymous as a core principle of the program. They are chosen from organizations both within and outside the NMC, and represent a considerable diversity of knowledge.

“The Center of Excellence Awards celebrate the innovation and creativity that is part of the fabric of every member institution,” said NMC CEO Larry Johnson. “The NMC organizations recognized this year represent the best of our field, and each has had a tremendous history of accomplishment.”

The 2009 NMC Center of Excellence Award recipients are:

Abilene Christian University
Recognized for their leadership in the use of mobile technologies across the institution (see ACU Center of Excellence video)

The Center for Digital Storytelling
Recognized for their global role and leadership in the advancing the art and practice of digital storytelling (see CDS Center of Excellence video)

La Universitat Oberta de Catalunya
Recognized for their leadership in the areas of open educational resources and technology (see UOC Center of Excellence video)

“The 2009 class of recipients represents the very best of the community of innovators that is the NMC, and each exemplifies the vision that brings us all together,” noted Joan Getman, chair of the NMC Board of Directors. “Individually and together, these three institutions exemplify the highest values of the NMC, and each has compiled a history of accomplishment that has helped set the standards in the application of new media forms to teaching, learning, research, and creative expression.”

“The selection committee had a tremendous task and did their job well,” Johnson stated at the Center of Excellence Awards ceremony at the 2009 NMC Summer Conference today. “The 2009 recipients are all acknowledged leaders in the application of technology by any standard. The institutions recognized with the Center of Excellence Award are a group that includes schools large and small, the well-endowed and the not-so-well endowed, they represent the best of the NMC. Together and individually they exemplify the state of the art. Today’s recipients are worthy additions to that list.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How are the selections made?
A Once an institution is nominated, a set of information is put together to help the selection committee make its decisions. This information may be gleaned from the institution’s website, from conversations with knowledgeable persons, through interviews, or by other means. The information collected is reviewed by a selection committee that is charged with identifying from among the nominees the institutions most deserving of this recognition.

Q Who are the nominators?
A The nominators are drawn from both academe and industry, and are not required to be NMC members. Each is a leader in his or her field. By prior agreement, the identity of the nominators is held in confidence.

Q What are the categories in which honorees are chosen?
A Like other awards upon which this program is modeled, such as the MacArthur Awards, there are no predefined categories for selection.

The massive growth in the last few years has demonstrated the strength of this distinct new genre of communication, originating from a group of California practitioners associated with the Center for Digital Storytelling.

Conference Format
This one day International Conference will be organized to in two sections, with panel discussions followed by questions. The morning panel will address applications of digital storytelling in service to various communities including youth, immigrants, small towns, and healthcare. The afternoon panel will focus on innovations in digital storytelling form and its connection to broadcast, mobile technology, and Web 2.0 applications. The conference will hold a pre-reception on Friday, June 26, and an evening screening festival of digital stories from around the world. Download Conference Program.

Top Ten Reasons To Attend 2009 NMC Summer Conference

Alan Levine — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:59:38 -0700

Since I work for NMC, my bias may be showing when I suggest that the NMC Summer Conference is one of the best conferences anywhere-- but I have been saying so since my first one back in 2002, years before I joined the NMC. But don't take my word, listen to how people describe their experience last year at Princeton.

In that spirit, I offer the following ten reasons (actually not in strict top 10 order) why you should do what you can to attend this year's conference in Monterey. After getting through all ten, make your way over to our online registration to sign up today.

10. Our amazing keynote presenters will energize you like no espresso has ever done, starting off Thursday with an opening presentation by experience design guru Kathy Sierra on Creating Passionate Learners and Friday with the "Jaime Escalante" of education technology, Marco Torres, speaking on It's not About Clicking and Dragging! It's not About Blogging, Podcasting, Web 2.0'in! All keynotes and main events take place in the amazing Steinbeck Forum at the Monterey Convention Center (where the TED conferences were hosted for several years).
9. We have one of our biggest selections ever for Pre-Conference Workshops, where in groups of less than 20, you will get in-depth experience in everything from in the field digital photography at Point Lobos with Bill Frakes to Using Multimedia for Scholarly Communication, Final Cut Editing with experts from Apple, and the NMC Virtual Worlds team on How to Do Educational Builds in Second Life -- and that is less than half of the workshops available.
8. The setting of Monterey itself should be draw enough! Our conference hosts California State University, Monterey Bay have set up a special web site listing available local attractions, and they have arranged special discounts for conference attendees. The Aquarium, Big Sur, Pebble Beach, Carmel, museums, and more are nearby.
7. We don't run a cheesy vendor fair, but instead, you can get focused time to meet NMC Partners such as Apple, Adobe, i>clicker, Hippasus, Digital Media Academy, at our Opening Reception. And instead of sales pitches over silly game booths, our partners participate in the conference and run hands-on labs during the conference -- but you have to reserve your spot at registration time. A few sessions have filled but openings remain for hands-on labs.
6. Get engaged with the social media we use during the conference. Besides tagging photos in Flickr and blogging the experience, we are inviting people to join the Twitter Team to tweet highlights of the conference. We are also running an exciting new conference social media platform -- conference attendees can connect and communicate with each other via our Pathable Community, create a personal calendar, and connect to it via a mobile device. And we have a special geotagging storytelling activity that will be announced right before the conference.
5. There is an amazing selection of conference breakout sessions, but not so many simultaneous sessions that your head swims. The entire schedule is online (and connected to our Pathable site). Just a few samples are Exploring the Mobile Campus: Case Studies from the ACU Connected Initiative, Sharing Effectively: Multimedia for Faculty Development, Using Text Mining to Support Learning in Live Video Streaming, Gaming on the Liberal Arts Campus, and Online Teaching in Museums: Power of Participation.
4. This year we recognize the incredible lifetime work in our field of Doug Engelbart (the Father of the Mother of all Demos) with a special video tribute to Doug and presentation of his NMC Fellows award on Saturday. In the same session, we present the Centers of Excellence Awards to three special NMC Member Organizations, and as tradition goes, each one has prepared their own video statement showcasing their accomplishments.
3. The NMC signature and most lively event is our Five Minutes of Fame in which 10 presenters show their stuff in five minutes or less (and we have a gong to cut them off) -- it is fast, fun, and fascinating! -- like cramming a full conference day into one hour.
2. Help us go green and reduce our environmental impact. We are not handing out canvas bags and reams of paper that often fill the dumpsters, but you will get an extra special designed (and functional) conference program/notebook. Our evaluations are now paperless, and we have registration options (less than $5) to offset your carbon footprint for attending the conference. And rather than giving everyone a one-size-fits-someone t-shirt, we have a Cafe Press store where you can order and select the items you want.
1. And the number one reason to go to NMC 2009 are the people -- all the colleagues you will meet and connect with at Monterey. NMC people are passionate about their work, creative, media savvy... and they like to have fun!

Wright in CAA’s Art Journal

Michael Wright (aka. Mrags Writer), Digital Media Professor at Otis College of Art and Design, is one of the pioneer artists mentioned in an article by new media art historian Patric D Prince in the spring 09 issue of the ”Art Journal” published by the College Art Association. The Prince article “Imaging by Numbers: A Historical View of Digital Printmaking in America” is one of three features dealing with early digital art making covered in the spring issue of the “Art Journal”. Wright is quoted and his late 90s image “I, Be, Am” is displayed.

Michael Wright is a painter who began to explore Digital Media in the mid 1980s on an Amiga computer. He exhibited his first Digital Prints in 1989. He has exhibited digital and traditional works on a national & international level over the past 39 years. The SIGGRAPH acknowledged digital pioneer is currently exploring art and art education in virtual worlds.

Wright is a professor in the Digital Media and Liberal Studies Programs at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. He is a member of NMC, ACM, SIGGRAPH, Ylem, ASCI, and the Los Angeles Printmaking Society. Wright's digital work is represented in “The Art of the Digital Age” by Bruce Wands, “Going Digital” by Joseph Nalven and JD Jarvis, "Computer Graphics World" '25 year Retrospective of Digital Art" in its January 2002 issue and in the magazine’s "Portfolio" section of the November, 2001, issue. Wright is profiled in "Computer Graphics Companion" edited by Jeffrey McConnell Anthony Ralston and Edwin Reilly. His work also appears in "The Computer in the Visual Arts" by Anne Morgan Spalter of Brown University, published by Addison Wesley and is also published in Linda Jacob's seminal book, "CyberArts: Exploring Art & Technology". He and his work have been featured in Wired, Micro Publishing News, Computer Graphics & Applications and Agent X, Television Tokyo. Wright's digital prints are in the collection of the State Museum in Novorsibirsk, Russia and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London UK, the repository for British art book & print collections. Wright was one of six resident artists invited to SIGGRAPH’S first Artists in Residence Program at SIGGRAPH 2007, in San Diego California.

UPenn Seltzer Digital Media Awards

i>Clicker and Pathable Join NMC as Sustaining Partners

NMC — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0700

The New Media Consortium (NMC) is pleased to announce new partnerships with i>Clicker and Pathable. Each company has joined the NMC as a Sustaining Partner.

Both i>Clicker and Pathable share the NMC’s deep commitment to furthering the exploration and use of new media and new technologies. Since 2004, the audience response system developed by i>Clicker has been adopted by hundreds of higher education institutions and K-12 schools. Designed to be easy to use for both teachers and students, the system is lightweight and portable, making it possible to design teaching activities that engage students in even the largest classes on a personal level.

Pathable creates online spaces to support the kinds of social networking activities that take place at face-to-face conferences. Among the tools available to support the 2009 NMC Summer Conference is a customized Pathable site that features attendee profiles, session descriptions, and a host of opportunities to connect with others planning to be in Monterey, California in June for the annual event. Pathable has been developing such spaces since 2007 and sees them as a way to facilitate and strengthen the genuine connections that take place at conferences and other events.

“Both Pathable and i>Clicker are focused on the kinds of activities the NMC supports as part of its core mission,” noted Dr. Larry Johnson, CEO of the NMC. “The folks at Pathable understand what makes conferences work — the connections formed in the hallways, the serendipitous meetings with people who share similar interests — and their tools help that along. We’ve been seeing a lot of activity on the conference Pathable site since it opened. People appreciate the chance to ‘meet’ each other before they even get to the conference.”

Dr. Johnson is equally enthusiastic about i>Clicker. “Getting students engaged in learning is key,” he observed. “What i>Clicker has done is to make it easy for teachers to use a sophisticated technological tool to make courses more interactive — especially large lectures, although I’ve seen the clickers in use in smaller classes, too, to great effect. They’ve made the technology almost totally transparent.”

The University of Calgary, The University of Alaska (Anchorage and Fairbanks), Princeton University, and the Rochester Institute of Technology are just a few of the many NMC members who are using i>Clicker products and systems in support of teaching and learning. Among Pathable’s clients are top technology gatherings like New Media Expo, Bar Camp Seattle, and the Future of Web Apps (FOWA) conference.

Pathable and i>Clicker join a prestigious list of companies supporting the work of the NMC. To learn more about Pathable, see www.pathable.com. More information on i>Clicker can be found at www.iclicker.com. A complete list of NMC corporate partners and member institutions is available on the NMC website.

NMC Annual Member Organization Survey Under Way

Alan Levine — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:20:33 -0700

All NMC Directors have been invited to complete the annual survey of our member organizations in which we use to both benchmark the types of organizations in NMC but also collect data on their use and development of new media, plus provide broader results for the field of New Media.

The survey will run through the end of May 2009 and preliminary results will be shared with the NMC Community. The public results should be published to our web site by the end of June, 2009.

Our survey instrument, Zoomerang, provides some new features for open surveys to dynamically display current results via web widgets, so below is a peek into the current data (at this time, 18 organizations have completed their surveys). This information will automatically update as surveys are completed.
