The Horizon Project, as the centerpiece of NMC's Emerging Technologies Initiative, charts the landscape of emerging technologies for teaching, learning and creative expression and produces the NMC's annual Horizon Report. Since the launch of the Horizon Project in March 2002, the NMC has held an ongoing series of conversations and dialogs with hundreds of technology professionals, campus technologists, faculty leaders from colleges and universities, and representatives of leading corporations.

"e-Adept is a unique cooperative project within the areas of personal navigation, travel planning and safety. The aim of the project is to provide a mobility enabling solution to increase pedestrian accessibility for elderly people and people with disabilities. "

"All the R&D outputs from our projects, eg context, objectives, methodology, results from trials, lessons learnt, development potential."

" Imagine the implications of the future that most technology experts foresee: Wireless devices are embedded in everything-including us; cameras record activity in all public spaces; databases catalogue our online moves; massive data centers allow our information to be sorted and understood in new ways; the physical environment changes as "the Internet of things" and "everywhere" applications are widespread; projection of digital material is possible on all kinds of surfaces; immersive, invisible, ambient networked computing makes us available to more people in more ways; software exhibits humanlike thinking; and a direct brain-to-computer interface is possible."

In the process of our recent research and planning for the Horizon Project, it became useful to combine the previous reports from 2004-2009 into a single PDF. The past reports are available individually for free under Creative Commons licensing from the Horizon web site and our NMC publications page), but as a single "boxed set" you can do keyword searches across all of the titles.

"The overall objective of EMERIPA is to develop and test a transferable European methodology and associated tools in order to enable regional actors to assess the effectiveness of their research and innovation policies, and to benchmark their regional performance within a European framework. "

An agenda for change in Education and Lifelong learning beyond 2010 proposed by the Learnovation project

"Learning with mobile technologies is an emerging field with a developing research agenda and many questions surrounding the suitability of traditional research methods to investigate and evaluate the new learning experiences associated with mobility and support for increasingly informal learning. This book sets out the issues and requirements for mobile learning research, and presents recent efforts to specify appropriate theoretical frameworks, research methods and tools. Through their accounts of particular mobile learning projects, leading researchers in the field present their experiences and approaches to key aspects of mobile learning research such as data capture and analysis, and offer structured guidance and suggestions on adopting and extending these approaches."

to attain such an interusability via interconnected embedded systems.

The ML4D initiative aims to engender a design-level discussion among practitioners in the field, in order to inform them of the challenges and potential solutions, and to facilitate rapid spread of critical design knowledge.
