Julie K. Little, the interim director of the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, has devoted the past 20 years to exploring and integrating information technologies in the academy's teaching, learning, and research practices. Her research interests focus on promoting faculty development, facilitating communications and collaboration in distributed learning environments, and designing effective uses of instructional technologies. Most recently she served as interim assistant CIO and executive director of educational technology at the Innovative Technology Center at the University of Tennessee (UT). She has taught instructional technology, information science, teacher education and mentoring, and online communications at UT and the Sage Colleges as well as secondary social studies, humanities, and English in North Carolina and the Department of Defense Dependents Schools–Europe. Her instructional design and development experience includes receiving a Pew Grant in course redesign, creating an interactive multimedia program on gender equity, teaching student-faculty telecommunications skills, and developing a national defense training prototype. A participant in two EDUCAUSE professional development institutes (Frye and Management), she has also served on the Apple distinguished educator higher education leadership team, the distance education advisory board and accreditation committee for the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Higher Education, and numerous university-wide committees and EDUCAUSE program committees.

SummaryYour host, Steve Worona, will be joined by Malcolm Brown and Julie Little, and the topic will be "The Horizon Report, Inside and Out." Planning for emerging technologies is an important part of much of the work we do supporting IT in higher education. The Horizon Report can assist with this effort, as it identifies "emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression within learning-focused institutions." Join us for an interactive session as we explore how this annual publication, a joint undertaking of the New Media Consortium and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, is produced and structured. We will also examine the community resources available through the Horizon Project and share ways in which you can put the report to work for you at your institution. Related EDUCAUSE Resources
