Horizon Report > 2013 Higher Ed Edition Released; MOOCs, Gamification, and 3D Printing Make Final Cut
Released earlier today by the New Media Consortium and EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI).
From the NMC/ELI News Release:
This year’s NMC Horizon Report [10th annual] identifies massively open online courses (MOOCs) and tablet computing as technologies expected to enter mainstream use in the first horizon of one year or less. Games and gamification and learning analytics are seen in the second horizon of two to three years; 3D printing and wearable technology are seen emerging in the third horizon of four to five years.

The 2013 Horizon Project Higher Education Advisory Board initially voted on the top 12 emerging technologies — the result of which is documented in this a interim report: the NMC Horizon Project Short List > 2013 Higher Education Edition. This Short List then helped the advisory board narrow down the 12 technologies to six for the full publication. Those results are available in the official Preview. View the work that produced these findings at www.horizon.wiki.nmc.org.
