Posted July 26th, 2008 by Alan LevineNMC Releases White Paper on the Evolution of Communication
Posted October 12th, 2007 by Rachel SmithThe New Media Consortium announced today the release of Social Networking, the “Third Place,” and the Evolution of Communication, a white paper that discusses the premise that technology not only mediates interactions, but is actually changing the nature of communication itself.
This release marks the first in a series of topical papers associated with the NMC’s Series of Virtual Symposia (formerly the Series of Online Conferences), which are designed to explore emerging topics in education and technology using social computing technologies to bring people together online in a way that offers many of the same affordances of a face-to-face conference.
