These questions will guide our selection of emerging technologies and ideas for the 2006 Horizon Report. The first three correspond to the three horizons that are used to organize the report: one year or less; one to three years; or three to five years before the technology or idea reached the mainstream. The last two, new for 2006, are intended to help us focus our selections on the report's foci of teaching, learning, and creative expression.
Please add your thoughts liberally here – ideas for things to include in the report, descriptions or lists of technologies you think are going to be important, or just musings on the questions.
For a detailed description of the 12 technologies listed from 2005, see the [2005 'Short List'|^2005 Horizon Report Short List.pdf}.
What would you list among the established technologies that colleges and universities should all be using broadly today to support or enhance teaching, learning, or creative expression?
