What's on your Horizon?

Facilitators: Cyprien Lomas and Scott Leslie

Description: A conversation about the 2008 NMC Horizon Report. Each year the New Media Consortium produces The Horizon Report (http://horizon.nmc.org/wiki/Main_Page), an attempt to forecast some of the emerging technologies and forces that will affect education in the coming years. This year’s report identified grassroots video, collaboration webs, mobile broadband, data mashups, collective intelligence and social operating systems as 6 emerging technologies that will influence higher education over the next 5 years. Join two of the Horizon Report's Advisory Board members for an open discussion about the newly released 2008 report, as well as an opportunity to share your own experiences around a host of innovative and disruptive technologies that are offering both new opportunities and challenges for educators and support staff.


I actually took copious notes for this session, but the session wiki and the horizon document itself pretty much cover it. Both of these links contain a lot of useful information, and the wiki particularly has links to several very interesting online apps / tools.
