2008 Horizon Report Australia-New Zealand edition

22 February 2009The first in a new series of regional and sector-based Horizon Reports, the 2008 Australia-New Zealand Edition examines emerging technologies as they appear in and affect higher education in Australia and New Zealand in particular.

The core of the report describes six areas of emerging technology that will impact higher education in Australia and New Zealand within three adoption horizons over the next five years. To identify these areas, the project has drawn on an ongoing conversation among knowledgeable persons in the fields of business, industry, and education; on published resources, current research and practice; and on the expertise of both the NMC community and the communities of the members of the Horizon Project?s Australia?New Zealand Advisory Board.
