CoSN 2015: The Emerging Tech That’s Transforming K–12’s
Horizon
D. Frank Smith, EdTech Focus on K-12, March 18, 2015
CoSN previewed the K–12 edition of its annual Horizon Report,
which tracks emerging technologies and how they intersect with
education. The full report isn’t due out until summer. One of the
key challenges educators face is how to integrate these
technologies into education. That context is important for
educators to understand in order to make decisions on the future,
said CoSN’s CEO Keith Krueger, at the outset of the session.
“Emerging technologies have already carved niches for themselves in today’s classrooms. Among the more surprising results from the report preview was the exponential growth in workshops focused on 3D printing, commonly known as Makerspaces. Over the next several years, Makerspaces are projected to reach nearly a quarter of U.S. classrooms, says the NMC, and the technology is already beginning to reshape how classrooms function.
“The question of how to renovate or repurpose classrooms to address the needs of the future is being answered through the concept of Makerspaces,” according to the report.

When it comes to analyzing emerging technology uptake in
education, the NMC Horizon Project is truly global in scope and
reach. This map represents the last 2,000 downloads for the
NMC Horizon Report series, which has a readership in
more than 160 countries and growing. To date, over 40 editions of
the NMC Horizon Report have been published, along with 50 foreign
language translations in areas including global higher education,
K-12 education, libraries, and museums. The regional- and
sector-focused NMC Technology Outlook series has examined STEM+
education, community colleges, Australian tertiary education,
European schools, Latin American higher education, Brazilian
schools, Singaporean schools, and Norwegian schools. Links on
this site feature current and former NMC Horizon Reports for K-12
and Higher Education.
NMC Horizon Report > 2015 K-12 Edition
What is on the five-year horizon for K-12 schools worldwide?
Which trends and technologies will drive educational change?
What are the challenges that we consider as solvable or difficult to overcome, and how can we strategize effective solutions? These questions and similar inquiries regarding technology adoption and transforming teaching and learning steered the collaborative research and discussions of a body of 56 experts to produce the NMC Horizon Report: 2015 K-12 Edition, in partnership with the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN). The NMC Horizon Report series charts the five-year horizon for the impact of emerging technologies in school communities across the globe. With more than 13 years of research and publications, it can be regarded as the world’s longest-running exploration of emerging technology trends and uptake in education.

NMC Horizon Report > 2015 Higher Education Edition
The NMC Horizon Report > 2015 Higher Education Edition is a
collaborative effort between the NMC and the EDUCAUSE Learning
Initiative (ELI). This 12th edition describes annual findings
from the NMC Horizon Project, an ongoing research project
designed to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to
have an impact on learning, teaching, and creative inquiry in
education. Six key trends, six significant challenges, and six
important developments in educational technology are identified
across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years,
giving campus leaders and practitioners a valuable guide for
strategic technology planning. The report aims to provide these
leaders with more in-depth insight into how the trends and
challenges are accelerating and impeding the adoption of
educational technology, along with their implications for policy,
leadership and practice. View the work that produced the report

6 Emerging Trends Driving Technology in Education
David Nagel, Campus Technology, February 12, 2015
The burden is on universities to advance the culture of
innovation, “to foster environments that accelerate learning and
creativity” and “to create the conditions for innovation to
happen,” according to a new report released Wednesday by the
New Media Consortium and the
Educause Learning
Initiative.
That is one of the longer-term trends identified in the NMC Horizon Report: 2015 Higher Education Edition that will impact decision-making over the next five years, particularly in the areas of technology policy, leadership and practice
The annual Horizon Report is developed by a panel of higher education experts to identify major developments in education technology and technological trends that will help shape teaching and learning in the near future. The researchers also identify the six most significant challenges facing education in the coming years.

3 emerging technologies reimagining higher ed in 2015 and
beyond
Roger Riddell, Education Dive, December 17, 2014
To get an idea of what the future of higher ed might look like in
2015 and beyond, Education Dive examined three emerging
technologies that could facilitate some of the space’s biggest
shifts in years. And the future looks bright, indeed.
The three technologies: online learning, holograms and virtual reality. Read more.

Emerging Technologies: The Internet of Things
Contegix, 2014
Few emerging technologies can excite the imagination like the
Internet of Things. Conceived in the 1970s, today the Internet of
Things refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual
representations in an Internet-like structure. This technology is
commonly used to automate customer checkout, inventory control,
and loss prevention in many of the world’s largest shopping
centers. Beyond that, the principles demonstrated by those humble
devices are now being applied to a new generation of “smart”
objects and devices that provide users with new dimensions of
convenience and luxury.

10 Emerging Technologies & How Will They Impact Education in
2015?
J. Homes, IBM, December 5, 2014
For over a decade, the New Media Consortium (NMC) has been
charting the landscape of emerging technologies in teaching,
learning, and creative inquiry on a global scale. The NMC’s
advisory board includes 750 technology experts and faculty
members from colleges and universities in 40 countries, and is
supported by the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) and the
International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE).
The NMC’s latest research efforts, the NMC Horizon Report: 2013 K-12 Edition and the NMC Horizon Report: 2013 Higher Education Edition, were released this spring, and together highlight ten emerging technologies that will impact education over the course of the next five years: cloud computing, mobile learning, learning analytics, open content, 3D printing, MOOCs, virtual and remote laboratories, games and gamification, tablet computing, and wearable technology.
The author expands on 10 emerging technologies.

The Learning Technology Advisory Committee (LTAC), formerly the
Distance Education Advisory Committee, engages in substantive
policy research and discussion dealing with the increasingly
important role that learning technology plays in Texas higher
education. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
recognizes the important role that distance education and
computer assisted instruction, including e-learning tools such as
electronic textbooks and open course materials, plays in helping
the state reach the goals of Closing the Gaps by 2015.
