[edit] The 2008 Horizon Report: Toward a Research Agenda
With the release of the 2008 edition in this annual series, the NMC is continuing the concerted, international effort started last year to describe a research agenda based on the six practices and technologies featured in the 2008 edition of the Horizon Report. You are invited to participate in this process, contribute to the discussion, and help shape directions for future research in these topics across higher education.

Staff and students need a chance to learn how to make effective short videos. Technically it is not difficult, though there are some important rules to follow to make the video easy to hear and view. The new learning for most people is how to compose and how to express oneself in this medium. All students are highly experienced in making writing products. Few are used to expressing themselves confidently on video. As with writing, there is not one correct style, and shy people will have a different style to loud people. It is largely a matter of trial and error to learn what style suits oneself, but staff and students need an opportunity to do so without feeling too ridiculous while doing so.

Question for research: What makes (short) video work for learning? Obviously the YouTube experience demonstrates that short video is easily produced and can be a powerful communication medium. But the 'obviously' needs to be tested test to see whether this is really true. What is it about video that works? When is video a good way to tell a story or put a point of view and when is it not?
