Emerging media and informatics resources and technologies create unprecedented opportunities to bring forefront digital information to the public. The New Media Studio (TNMS), a non-profit organization, works to realize this potential. To this end, TNMS actively pursues its goals through a range of activities, including the provision of media production services, the distribution of digital educational products, and the development of innovative digital tools for public use. We create and operate many of our own projects—using not only grants but also investments and strategic partnering with educational, scientific and industry organizations.

The New Media Studio

Tue, 03/27/2007 - 19:31 — Anonymous

A California not-for-profit (501c [3]) educational corporation established in 2000 in Santa Barbara.
The New Media Studio uses emerging multimedia technologies to explore all aspects of the human environment: our geophysical, biological, social, and cultural surroundings.
TNMS:

  • explores the role of environmental media—from interactive multimedia to online communication—in education and society;
  • promotes a critical understanding of the impacts of media on educational practices;
  • partners with other institutions to create media products and research studies that provide new tools for education

Led by a board of directors drawn from educators and media professionals, TNMS attracts funding for media products and research studies, and produces and distributes media products that offer educational value to students at all levels. Positioned to facilitate interactivity between government institutions, where regulations and accounting practices limit the ability to contract for outside media services, and not-for-profit funding sources, which require a not-for-profit destination for their granting purposes, TNMS encourages collaboration between media artists, the entertainment industry, and scholars in an out of the academy.

Since the start we have recognized that organizations are only as good as the people who work and manage them. Reputations and solid products are built on the sweat and sacrifice of dedicated and enthusiastic employees. Dedicated and enthusiastic employees are built through solid management. The New Media Studio is an organization that is dedicated to bringing the public and the educational system a richer media experience, and this would not be possible without the programmers, office managers and interns that support and are supported by The New Media Studio.

At its 2009 Summer Meeting, the ESIP Federation voted to fund the Studio to upgrade its World Ocean Atlas Viewer. The World Ocean Atlas Viewer will be upgraded to be more effective as a classroom teaching tool. The NOAA climatology data will be updated from the 1998 set to the 2005 (the most current) set. Several teacher-requested user interface improvements will be included; and then the new viewer and all the data will be made available as a download for Mac or PC. Expected completion date: November 1, 2009. Martin Landsfeld and Jim Frew are the PIs on this effort.
