The New Media Consortium (NMC) is an international community of experts in educational technology — from the practitioners who work with new technologies on campuses every day; to the visionaries who are shaping the future of learning at think tanks, labs, and research centers; to its staff and board of directors; to the advisory boards and others helping the NMC conduct cutting edge research. The role of the NMC is to help our hundreds of member universities, colleges, museums, and organizations drive innovation across their campuses. We do that by performing research that catalyzes discussion, by convening people around new ideas, and by building communities that encourage exploration and experimentation. The NMC has a growing and influential role on the global stage, working with leading organizations around the world to move current education models to forms that are more engaging, effective, and inclusive. Recognized worldwide for our research on emerging technology, the NMC’s research reports and other publications are used in more than 100 countries. Over the years, the NMC has produced a steady stream of targeted research into a wide range of emerging ideas and technologies, including visual literacy, Challenge Based Learning, virtual worlds, learning objects, and more. The NMC Horizon Project, the NMC’s flagship research effort, has produced the NMC Horizon Report series for a decade, with a readership of well over 1.25 million.
