NMC Symposium on the Evolution of Communication
Symposium on the Evolution of Communication
December 4-5, 2007
NMC Conference Center in Second Life
The NMC Symposium on the Evolution of Communication will explore the premise that technology has not only mediated communication in countless ways, but that the very ways we communicate—and even the ways we talk and think about communication—are changing as a result. A white paper on the topic has been released to help inform the topic and to generate discussion.
The event will be conducted entirely online in the virtual world of Second Life. Sessions, which will be conducted live, can incorporate a variety of visuals and rich media, and are generally about 45 minutes in length, with about one-third to one-half that time devoted to dialog with participants using the audio tools of the environment.
We are also excited to announce that this year's symposium will feature a keynote in world by Howard Rheingold.
