MM-SIG was created to make it possible for faculty at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to learn from each other about a variety of multimedia issues.

The special interest group was initiated in November 1994 at a breakfast which was sponsored by the UN-L Teaching and Learning Center. Over 50 faculty attended this breakfast and indicated an interest in learning more about multimedia-related topics.

A growing number of multimedia equipped classrooms are becoming available for use in various buildings on campus. There are issues to address regarding how to effectively use these classrooms.

A related issue for this special interest group to consider is the World Wide Web. The Web is a powerful resource available on this campus yet we have not even scratched the surface in figuring out how it may be used effectively.
