Join Alan Levine of the New Media Consortium along with Bert Kimura and Curtis Ho, Teaching Colleges and Community conference coordinators in special, free, 90-minute, open discussion to talk about the recently released 2009 Horizon Report, jointly released in January 2009 by the NMC and EDUCAUSE.
As the center piece of the NMC's Emerging Technology Initiative, the Horizon Report is published annually to chart the landscape of emerging technologies for education and learning organizations. Over the last six years, as a qualitative research effort, the NMC has held an ongoing series of conversations and dialogs with technology professionals, campus technologists, faculty leaders from colleges and universities, and representatives of leading corporations to identify emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, research, or creative expression within learning-focused organizations.
In this session, we will summarize the project's process, use of open source and web 2.0 tools, and engage in a discussion of the topics in the 2009 Horizon Report and how the information is used. You will learn how you can participate and contribute to the effort. And we will provide updates on our other related projects, including the Australia-New Zealand edition, published in December 2008 and the newest, a K-12 Horizon Report to be released in early March, as well as ongoing efforts to translate the work into other languages.
So, what is on your horizon?
This conversation will be joined by the NMC Horizon Project and the TCC Online Conference Advisory Panel members.
The event is free, and registration is required. To accommodate your local time zone, two separate sessions will be held.
