About the Symposium

The Symposium on Mashups, web applications that combine data from more than one source via a single, unified tool, are often about data visualization, but they can also be creative products of other kinds—indeed, the term “mashup” originates from the music industry — such as assorted film and music clips assembled into parodies of well-known productions, for instance. Data mashups are powerful tools for navigating and visualizing datasets; understanding connections between different dimensions such as time, distance, and location; juxtaposing data from different sources to reveal new relationships; and other purposes.

In the Symposium we will explore both the tools for generating mashups as well as the applications of them to teaching and learning.

To register for the conference, or for more information including the preliminary schedule of events, please see http://www.nmc.org/2008-spring-symposium/program.

We also have a pre-symposium white paper online set up for open discussion of mashups- please add your comments.

Please circulate this announcement to any and all areas that may be interested in participating.

All of us at NMC are looking forward to seeing you online!
