The New Media Consortium (NMC) is an international 501(c)3
not-for-profit consortium of more than 250 learning-focused
organizations dedicated to the exploration and use of new media and
new technologies.

NMC member institutions are found in almost every
state in the United States, across Canada, and in Europe, Asia and
Australia. Among the membership are an elite list of the most highly
regarded colleges and universities in the world, as well as a growing
list of innovative museums, research centers, foundations, and
forward-thinking companies.

The consortium serves as a catalyst for the development of new
applications of technology to support learning and creative
expression, and sponsors programs and activities designed to stimulate
innovation, encourage collaboration, and recognize excellence among
its member institutions. Through its many projects, its comprehensive
website, and its series of international conferences, the NMC
stimulates dialog and understanding through the exploration of
promising ideas, technologies, and applications.

As a central part of its mission, the NMC encourages and supports
innovation in the pursuit of effective collaboration, especially in
the activities and projects in which it plays a leadership role.
