   Welcome to CDMC

Welcome to the Children's Digital Media Center. We are a consortium of universities funded by the National Science Foundation. Our goal is to shed light on how entertainment media impact the development of youth and then disseminate that information to policy makers and businesses to create a quality media environment. Join us in making this vision a reality.

Childrens Digital Media Center Awarded 2.5 Million Dollar Grant From NSF

The CDMC comprised of Sandra Calvert, Daniel Anderson, Ellen Wartella and Elizabeth Vanderwater was awarded new funding to study the effects of digital media on very early development. Very young children now spend a significant amount of time in the presence of digital media. Over the next 5 years, the CDMC research team will track media exposure and examine how infants and toddlers come to read a screen, a necessary skill for them to understand media content.
