[Web4lib] Emerging trends in educational technology

[Sloan, Bernie]

>From a description of this new report on the New Media Consortium home
page:

"The 2006 Horizon Report is now available. The 2006 edition is a
collaboration between The New Media Consortium and the EDUCAUSE Learning
Initiative (ELI), an EDUCAUSE program.

The 2006 Horizon Report, just as has been the case with previous
editions of the report, highlights six technologies that the underlying
research suggests will become very important to higher education over
the next one to five years. 

A central focus of the discussion of each technology is its relevance
for teaching, learning, and creative expression."
