2010 Horizon Report

The annual Horizon Report is a collaborative effort between the
EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) and the New Media Consortium (NMC).
Each year, the report identifies and describes six areas of emerging
technology likely to have a significant impact on teaching, learning,
or creative expression in higher education within three adoption
horizons: a year or less, two to three years, and four to five years.

The areas of emerging technology cited for 2010 are:

Time to adoption: One Year or Less

Mobile Computing
Open Content

Time to adoption: Two to Three Years

Electronic Books
Simple Augmented Reality

Time to adoption: Four to Five Years

Gesture-based Computing
Visual Data Analysis

Each section of the report provides live Web links to examples and
additional readings. The findings for the 2010 Report resulted from
the work of the 47-person Advisory Board, with experts from ten
countries.
