An Experiment in Social Computing - Laurence F. Johnson, Syllabus

The NMC is an organization dedicated not only to engaging its 170 member institutions on timely topics of current interest and emergent thinking, but also one that strives to walk the walk in the ways it uses technology. As an approach to helping members stay on top of an ever-changing technology landscape and the never-ending flow of new ideas and information, the NMC wanted to find a high-tech, high-touch system that leveraged technology to bring a community of practitioners together....

Among the most important lessons learned were that in spite of being a technology-mediated event, the true richness of the experience reflected the care that organizers took to maximize the interaction experiences among participants.
