New Media Lab

THE NEW MEDIA LAB (NML) assists City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center faculty and doctoral students from a variety of academic disciplines to create multimedia projects based on their own scholarly research. Our goal is to integrate new media into traditional academic practice, challenging scholars to develop fresh questions in their respective fields using the tools of new technology. The NML is committed to a vision of new technology based on open access to ideas, tools, and resources.

With ongoing support from CUNY, the New Media Lab has become a dynamic environment in which projects funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Old York Library Foundation, and other private and public sources demonstrate new approaches and methods of merging digital media, scholarship, and learning.

Located in room 7388.01 at the CUNY Graduate Center and run under the auspices of the Center for Media and Learning / American Social History Project, NML researchers:

work across academic disciplines to produce scholarly digital media projects;

analyze Internet usage in the educational, social, and commercial sectors;

construct 3-D environments that explore ways of visualizing the arts, humanities, and sciences

digitally archive and analyze a wide range of data
participate in public programs that address the critical intersection of knowledge and technology

  • TLC/GCDI Workshop, 4/13: Social Reading

    Posted by Luke Waltzer (he/him) on April 11, 2016 at 3:00 pm

    Join the Teaching and Learning Center and the Graduate Center’s Digital Initiatives for a workshop on Social Reading, scheduled for Wednesday April 13, from 1-3 pm in room 9206 of the CUNY Graduate Center.

    In this workshop we will discuss social reading and explore ways in which we can turn texts into engaging conversations. Like our online world of social sharing, social reading is multidimensional and creates community around a text. Rather than a one-way and solitary activity, it can make texts come alive for your students, increase participation and comprehension, and, as a result, improve your students’ learning. We will showcase various online annotation tools (such as Hypothes.is and Annotation Studio) and discuss how we can use them in our classrooms.

    This event, organized in collaboration with the Graduate Center’s Digital Initiatives, is the second in a series of workshops we are running on approaches educational technology. We encourage everyone to also attend the Social Writing workshop on April 20th, 1-3pm in room 9207 where we will discuss how to integrate social writing tools (such as the CUNY Academic Commons’ Social Paper, the WordPress plugin CommentPress, Google Docs, and others) and methodologies into a range of disciplines and course levels.
