Symposium Program
The NMC Symposium on Mashups will explore all kinds of mashups—combinations of media, data, and visualization tools — from art and creative expression to mathematics to the weather.
The conference format itself embodies the concept of mashups, as it will be a mashup of online venues: some sessions will be hosted in Adobe Connect, while others will take place in the virtual world of Second Life. Session materials will be presented in both venues, and the Second Life sessions will be streamed live into Adobe Connect. The conference will be supported by NMC Corporate Partner LearningTimes.
Join us for what promises to be an engaging, experimental, and informative gathering as we look at some of the educational implications and uses of mashups.
