Horizon Project Metatrends

How’s the Horizon Report used?
2005-2008 survey
Read by oneself
Jointly with immediate colleagues
Had discussion sessions with clients
Sent copies to senior administration

Horizontes Iberoamérica Emerging technology trends in teaching, learning and research, within learning organizations A New Media Consortium and UOC’s eLearn Center initiative.

Seven Channels of Change
Underlying patterns identified overtime throughout the past Horizon Reports
At the heart of how learning , work and play are evolving worldwide in every sector and in education
Impacting on how we think, changing our views of basic human activities
Approx. 400 Advisory Board members

Seven Channels of Change
Evolving approaches to communication between humans and machines
Collective sharing
Generation of knowledge
Computing in three dimensions
Connecting people via the network
Games as pedagogical platforms
Content production by users
Ubiquitous platforms, convergence of cellular networks and internet

An Ever-Present Network
Cellular grid and internet rapidly emerging
Increased ubiquitous wireless has enabled new ways of learning
This easy access is transforming our lives, the way we learn, work, socialize and play

The people are the network
It is people that are the organizing principal
Tremendous implications in how we assess authority, reputation, credibility - communication
Will produce major changes on how we connect to, learn from, relate, etc.
More tools to overcome distance, costs, etc.

Collective intelligence
Growing producers and consumers of knowledge
Collective sharing and generation of knowledge
Undiscovered relationships among information and data on the web is the source of new and significant insights and knowledge

Intuitive Interfaces
Computers are becoming more natural, gesture-based, transparent and an extension of our natural capabilities
Touch screens, imbedded sensors, GPS, accelerometers…

Computing in 3 dimensions
Moving computers into three dimensions
Enhanced visualization tools of rich data sets for new learning and knowledge
New forms of reflection, art, inquiry and methods of discovery (taking advantage of advances in cognitive and neuro-sciences)

Serious games
People (past 2 generations) have grown up with games
Gaming brings new tools
New tools bring new pedagogies to the educational mix
Starting to see great examples

Users as producers of content
Show, organize and find user-generated content
Mobile multimedia capture devices (i.e. cell phones)
3.6 billion around the world owe a mobile phone (Economist, Oct. 2009)
Satisfies need for information and visual literacy

HORIZON REPORT 2010 Preliminary Results

HORIZON REPORT 2010
One Year or Less  * Mobile Computing  * Open Content
Two to Three Years  * Electronic Books  * Simple Augmented Reality
Four to Five Years  * Gesture-Based Computing  * Visual Data Analysis

Critical Challenges
The role of the academy—and the way we prepare students for their future lives—is changing.
Current metrics for evaluating scholarly authority do not support emerging forms of authoring, publishing, and researching.
Faculty and teachers do not receive training in digital media literacy, although this is a key skill.
Budgets are shrinking in the present economic climate, forcing institutions to focus more narrowly on key goals.

Key Trends
The abundance of resources and relationships induced by open resources and social networks is increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators in sense-making, coaching and credentialing.
More and more, people expect to be able to work, learn, study, and connect with their social networks wherever and whenever they want to.
Technologies are becoming more decentralized.
Students are increasingly seen as collaborators, and there is more cross-campus collaboration

Open Session – Collective participation
One Year or Less  * Mobile Computing  * Open Content
