Horizon Report ANZ-Edition
Again this year, I have been privilaged to be part of the advisory board for the Australian and New Zealand Edition of the Horizon Report. This report looks at short term (1-2 YEARS) and long term trends (out to 5 YEARS) in information and communications technologies that will effect education.
So the trends that we feel will have the most effect on education are:
One Year or less
- eBooks
- Mobiles
Two to Three Years
- Augmented Reality
- Open Content
Four to five Years
- Gesture-Based Computing
- Visual Data Analysis

The Report – 2010 Horizon Report: Australia-New Zealand Edition
Background:
The 32 members of this year’s Advisory Board were purposely chosen to represent a broad spectrum of Australian and New Zealand education; key writers and thinkers from business and industry rounded out the group. They engaged in a comprehensive review and analysis of research, articles, papers, blogs, and interviews; discussed existing applications, and brainstormed new ones; and ultimately ranked the items on the list of candidate technologies for their potential relevance to teaching, learning, and creative enquiry. This work took place entirely online and may be reviewed on the project wiki at http://anz.wiki.nmc.org.
