2009 Horizon Report on Emerging Technologies

The Horizon Project, an initiative of the New Media Consortium and the Educause Learning Initiative, tracks emerging technologies for teaching and learning.

Every year, it publishes a report outlining six areas of emerging technology likely to have a significant impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression in higher education.

The 2009 report looks at:

• Mobile devices
• Cloud computing
• Geo-everything
• The personal web
• Semantic-aware applications
• Smart objects

There is also a Horizon project wiki with links to Horizon research themes, annual trend reports, an analysis of what happened to trends identified in earlier reports, press clippings, RSS feeds for top tech news sites, and del.icio.us tags relating to the project itself.
