Each year, the New Media Consortium (NMC), in cooperation with the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, produces a report summarizing the latest findings from the NMC Horizon Project, an ongoing research project that identifies and describes emerging technologies likely to have an impact on teaching and learning.
The report looks at key trends that are impacting higher eduction, significant challenges and important developments in educational technology that could have a short-term and longer-term influence on the classroom. The technology trends discussed in the report this year include flipped classrooms, learning analytics, 3d printing, and games and gamification.
The full report is available in pdf format at the NMC website.
