Abstract

Since 2004, the Horizon Report has brought together leading minds from academia and industry to identify the technologies of most immediate relevance to the educational landscape. Five years of data now make it possible to identify longer-term trends underlying the annual highlights and to plan rationally for innovation in academic institutions. In this session, we will analyze the in-depth longitudinal trends revealed by the Horizon Report and derive practical strategic and tactical approaches to innovation in education. We will also discuss how to implement "mini-Horizons" at your institution and work through hands-on case studies with technologies highlighted in the 2008 report. Most crucially, we want to ensure that our answers are framed to meet your institution's needs, so we will be structuring this daylong session around the information you provide us in advance of the seminar.
