New Media Centers
 |
In the summer of 1998, the
University of North Dakota's Center for Instructional & Learning
Technologies and the
School of Communication were
selected to participate in programs of New
Media Centers®, an innovative non-profit
consortium made up of higher education institutions
and digital technology companies promoting teaching
and learning using new media. New
Media Centers® is a non-profit, 501(c)(3)
organization helping institutions of higher education
enhance teaching and learning through the use of
new media. Bringing together pioneers in the new
media field from academia and industry, NMC creates
a collaborative network of institutions and corporations
serving as a catalyst to integrate new media into
education.
New Media Centers® identifies academic institutions around the world
best suited to serve as models for innovation, both on campus and in their communities.
NMC and its corporate members then help them acquire and use state-of-the-art
new media technology to create hands-on laboratories. These laboratories offer
an ideal setting for beta-testing, software development and the training of tomorrow's
workforce.
Acting as the program hub for its members, the NMC national staff convenes both
traditional conferences and electronic forums to discuss the key pedagogical,
technological and legal issues facing educators and corporations in the new media
realm. New Media Centers® institutions
work with each other and with NMC corporate members to develop the new technology
needed for education. Individual centers are also encouraged to develop community-based
programs, such as in-service training workshops for primary and secondary school
teachers and professional development courses for lifelong learning.
