Participate in the  NMC Virtual Symposium of the Future Oct 19-21.

10/07/10

Consider joining a local contingent at IC to participate in the NMC 2010 Virtual Symposium of the Future on October 19-21 in the Center for Educational Technology.  The Symposium, held online, looks toward the future: What might the world look like in five years or ten? Technologies and practices that are just beginning to show promise in an educational or social context may well be commonplace in that time frame.  ITS has purchased one paid registration to log into this event from the CET. There is no charge to participants and is open to faculty, staff, and students.
