Horizon Report 2013

I’d strongly encourage all of you to read the newest edition of the Horizon Report that was released this month.   This is a “decade-long research project designed to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have an impact on learning, teaching, and creative inquiry in higher education. Six emerging technologies are identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years . . . giving campus leaders and practitioners a valuable guide for strategic technology planning.”

• Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less
• Massively Open Online Courses
• Tablet Computing
• Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years
• Big Data and Learning Analytics
• Game-Based Learning
• Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Four to Five Years
• 3D Printing
• Wearable Technology
