2010 NMC Symposium on New Media and Learning — New Media Consortium
The 2010 NMC Symposium on New Media and Learning, the fifteenth in the NMC’s Series of Virtual Symposia, will explore the impact of new media on teaching, learning, research, and creative expression, especially in higher education.

Sincerely,
Daniel S. Christian
