Background • New Media Consortium • The Horizons Report
Horizons Report Structure • When? Time-to-Adoption • One Year or Less • Two to Three Years • Four to Five Years • Why relevant for Teaching, Learning or Creative Expression? • Who’s using it? - Examples
Horizon Report Process • Discovery • 15-20 Non-widespread technologies • Knowledge-gathering • Vetting • Exploration • Knowledge Sharing
One Year or Less • Learning Objects • Scalable Vector Graphics
Learning Objects Any digital resource that can be reused to support learning ( NLII) simulations websites assessments videos animations calculators
Learning Objects • Why Relevant? • Compatible with a learner-centered approach • Repositories • Need for new standards
Learning Objects • MERLOT • Pachyderm • Making Sense of Modern Art • NMC Learning Object Initiative
Scaleable Vector Graphics (SVG) • XML-based description of 2D graphics • Plain-text file format • Scaleable output - zooming • Searchable text • Bi-directional data exchange
Scaleable Vector Graphics (SVG) • Why Relevant? • Dynamic data links to and from controls, monitoring devices or real-time sensors. • Rich simulations • Zoomable maps • Sciences, engineering, medicine, business, math & statistics
Scaleable Vector Graphics (SVG) • Examples • Animation of CD Player • Interactive Web Mapping • Adobe SVG Zone
Two to Three Years • Rapid Prototyping • Multimodal Interfaces
Rapid Prototyping • Physical objects from 3D digital content • 3D Printers in plastic, resin and metals
Rapid Prototyping • Why Relevant? • Architecture • Engineering • Arts & Design • Mathematics • Science
Rapid Prototyping • Examples • 3D Printing at UMBC • Biological Modeling
Multimodal Interfaces • Going beyond WIMP • Visual, auditory, haptic, olfactory and flavor • Frees users from traditional interfaces • Makes the experience more real
Multimodal Interfaces • Why Relevant? • Enhanced simulations • Languages • Art & Design • Medicine & Health Sciences • Engineering • Adaptive support
Multimodal Interfaces • Examples • cathSim • Ramona
Four to Five Years • Context Aware Computing • Knowledge Webs
Context Aware Computing • Uses contextual information to aid decision making • “Smart Dust” wireless technologies
Context Aware Computing • Why relevant? • Awareness of social situations • Collaboration • Smart monitoring • Location sensing • Just-in-time Information • Highly personalized instruction • Adaptive use
Context Aware Computing • Examples • “Smart Dust” • Dust Networks • Input, Output & Augmented Environments • University of Washington
Knowledge Webs • Make connections between knowledge elements clear • Distribute knowledge over multiple pathways • Represent knowledge in ways that facilitate use • RDF & RSS
Knowledge Webs • Why relevant? • Manage the flow of new information within disciplines • Make new findings available to faculty and students in intuitive ways
Knowledge Webs • World Music in Contemporary Life • EduRSS • RSS readers
