2010 NMC Five Minutes of Fame

Five Minutes of Fame is a trademarked event allowing NMC academic members to show off their latest new media projects.

For this Five Minutes of Fame demonstration at the 2010 NMC Summer Conference  in Anaheim, California, selected NMC member organizations were given five minutes each to highlight innovations of all sorts, from multimedia and web-based projects, to course modules and newly invented or adapted tools, to student portfolios and collaborations with off-campus groups. In each fast-paced session, the audience saw numerous examples of the exciting work their NMC colleagues are doing.
