The 2008 Horizon Report: Key Emerging Technologies

The annual Horizon Report describes the continuing work of the New Media Consortium's Horizon Project, a research-oriented effort that seeks to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have considerable impact on teaching, learning, and creative expression within higher education. This session will introduce the six technologies covered in the 2008 Horizon Report, the fifth in the series. Participants will explore examples in each category and contribute to the ongoing Call to Scholarship with their own ideas and suggestions. The 2008 Horizon Report is available online at no cost on the Horizon Project website.

Comment by Jerilyn Veldof on May 29, 2008 at 3:39pm: Educause just announced a webcast on the Horizon Report on June 5.

Here's the blurb:
lanning for emerging technologies is an important part of much of the work we do supporting IT in higher education. The Horizon Report can assist with this effort, as it identifies "emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression within learning-focused institutions." Join us for an interactive session as we explore how this annual publication, a joint undertaking of the New Media Consortium and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, is produced and structured. We will also examine the community resources available through the Horizon Project and share ways in which you can put the report to work for you at your institution.
