Submit Your Projects for the NMC Horizon Report > 2013 HiEd Edition
The 2013 Horizon Project Advisory Board has just concluded their final round of voting and the results are in! We now have the official list of six "Technologies to Watch" for the NMC Horizon Report > 2013 Higher Education Edition.
We are interested in learning about any kind of research, pilot programs, innovative projects, or faculty work happening at your university or organization in any of the six areas listed below. (Download the NMC Horizon Project Preview > 2013 Higher Education Edition PDF for more details about the topics.) Our goal is to help readers understand the potential impact of these technologies and their applications on teaching, learning, creative inquiry, or research.
Here are the six areas identified for this year's report -- and more information, including a description of each topic, is provided in the attached Preview:
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less
* Massively Open Online Courses
* Tablet Computing
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years
* Big Data and Learning Analytics
* Game-Based Learning
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Four to Five Years
* 3D Printing
* Wearable Technology
The Time-to-Adoption Horizon indicates how long the advisory board collectively feels it will be until a significant number of campuses are providing or using each of these technologies or approaches broadly. Of course, a number of innovative faculty and universities are already working in some of these areas, and those are the very efforts we want to highlight. Of special interest are any activities that have a significant web presence so that a URL might be included in the report.
How to Participate
If you know of examples we could include, please use the brief web form at go.nmc.org/projects to tell us about them. We ask for a title, a URL, and a one- or two-sentence description; you also will need to select which of the six topics your example falls under. The process takes about two minutes.
We hope to have your examples by Monday, January 7, but no matter what, we'd love to hear about what you are doing! All we really need is a sentence of description and a URL -- we'll do the rest.
And, of course, a special thank you to Malcolm Brown and the whole E.L.I. team for their collaboration and for helping make this report possible!
