2011 NMC Five Minutes of Fame
Posted June 29th, 2011 by Nancy Reeves
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 2011 NMC Summer Conference in Madison, Wisconsin, 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.
