Six areas of emerging technology

Taken from The 2007 Horizon Report (http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/CSD4781.pdf) The annual Horizon Report describes the continuing work of the NMC’s Horizon Project, a research oriented effort that seeks to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression within higher education. The 2007 Horizon Report is the fourth edition in this annual series. Again this year, as in years past, the report reflects an ongoing collaboration between the New Media Consortium and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI), an EDUCAUSE program. The core of the report describes six areas of emerging technology that will impact higher education within three adoption horizons over the next one to five years.
