[edit] 2008 Horizon Report: Key Emerging Technologies

keynote presentation by Rachel Smith and Alan Levine, NMC
Midwest Library Technology Conference
May 29-30, 2008

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.
