Project New Media Literacies: Materials and Focus Groups

Announcements


Project New Media Literacies a research initiative within MIT's Comparative Media Studies program. Our central goal is to engage educators and learners in today's participatory culture. It is our belief that young people need to both make and reflect upon media and in the process, acquire important skills in team work, leadership, problem solving, collaboration, brainstorming, communications, and creating projects.

You've been asking and we're ready to share NML materials! Our goal is for educators to download and test our learning modules in your classroom or after-school program and provide us feedback from both you and your
students.


Help us improve our materials and
provide us a basis for evaluating and understanding the impact of our work.
