[EDITOR’S NOTE — This is the first in a series of conference blogs offered by Xplana. Many thanks to Sarah Lohnes for being our first intrepid reporter!]
Live from Virginia Tech…Greetings! I’m Sarah Lohnes, technologist at the Center for Educational
Technology at Middlebury College (VT) and [alterego] blogger. For the next
several days, I’ll be conference blogging from the New Media Consortium 2003 Summer Conference, which is being held this year at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. The New Media Consortium is “a very special group of people and institutions that share a vision about the potential of technology to transform human experience, and … that values collaboration and knowledge sharing.” Sessions are organized into four tracks: Tools and
Techniques; Best Practices, Challenges and Issues; and Emerging Technologies; and Technological Leadership and Management Effectiveness. You can find the full schedule here.
Beginning Thursday afternoon, I’ll be attending sessions, taking stream-of-consciousness notes and posting them here - so check back often! If you don’t want to take my word for it, NMC will be webcasting sessions. Between the two, hopefully you will be able to take away some interesting information without having to be here.
