A long but fantastic report! The content in the report was indepth, intellectual and thought provoking. The process in which the Horizon Report is produced, is even more fascinating !
The Horizon Report is produced annually and in each report a hundred odd technologies are examined for possible inclusion in the report. Then an internationally renowned Advisory Board examines each topic in excruciating detail and the critiques it. But more to the point, the whole process is documented and updated on their own Wikispace (see horizon.nmc.org/wiki ) So I went on their Wikisite and wow! It was truly amazing. Professional, synced and well presented. It has to be the best use of a Wiki I have seen in all my life. It includes, graphics, downloads, previous reports, their current projects and diagrams. Really well balanced. Furthermore, I checked out the reference and advisory board list and was happy to see the wide variety of professors, deans and businesspeople who have contributed to the Horizon Report internationally. Europe, the Americas and a few Aussie universities which was fantastic.
So overall, the information on emerging technologies and their impact on teaching, learning and creative expression was outstanding and could see a lot of parallels to teaching in the classroom with these resources, however the way the report was technically produces on an online scale was inspiring too.
