Today’s Session History and Purpose The Process Inside the Horizon Report Putting the Horizon Report to Work for You
Intended for Institutional Leadership (brief format) Released under 5 Annual Reports (2004-2008) Evolution of Structure Key Trends & Critical Challenges (‘06) Metatrends (‘08) Horizon Project Community (wiki & tags) Language translations introduced ‘07 (Spanish & Catalan) History
5 Years of the Horizon Report Chris Lott: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fncll/2233514275/
In 4-5 years In 2-3 years In the next year Purpose It’s a forecast targeting six emerging technologies considered on three different adoption "horizons." 6
Core Focus Teaching Learning Creative Expression
Core question What six emerging technologies or practices will likely enter into mainstream use in the next one to five years? Whatsix emerging technologies or practices will likely enter into mainstream use in the next one to five years?

Step 2 Systematic review of emerging technologies and practices
Step 3 Research questions: placing emerging technology into the T/L/CE context
What established technologies should be in use today? • What established consumer technologies should be candidates for deployment? • What are the key emerging technologies for the 3-5 year horizon? What are our key challenges over the next five years? • What are the key trends that will shape us?
Step 4 Reponses and research results sorted into adoption horizons Near-term horizon (1 year or less) Medium-term horizon (2-3 years) Long-term horizon (4-5 years)
Step 5 Near-term horizon (1 year or less) Medium-term horizon (2-3 years) Long-term horizon (4-5 years) 80 candidates Short list of 12 Final 6
2008 HR: Grassroots Video Time to adoption: Within a year Tools for creating video are easer (and cheaper) to use Implications for HiEd Examples: Faculty-created video: Mobius Transformations RevealedArnold & Rogness, University of Minnesota Student-created video: "What would your ideal education look like?" ELI 2008 Annual Meeting Student Content Showcase
2008 HR: Social Operating Systems Time to adoption: 4-5 years Applications that bring together information and services based on a single contact Implications for HiEd Examples: Team ORCA at Carnegie Mellon Yahoo Prototype
Describes new and emerging practices and technology Describes “change forces” The HR is about innovation

Can jump start the innovation process Offers likely targets for innovation
Jump starting Analyze any of the highlighted technologies for its adoption potential at your institution
Take any one of the technologies and ask: what is missing for this technology or practice to be implemented at your institution? what kind of additional research needs to be done concerning this technology? what would be the ramifications and opportunities for learning if this technology were adopted?
