Ranking Process
STATUS: Advisory Board members have completed both passes at ranking the technologies, trends, and challenges featured in the 2006 Horizon Report and the analysis of those rankings is completed. Each Advisory Board member was given 10 votes to allocate among the items listed under each of the five questions (50 votes total) as a way of indicating the relative importance of the items to our foci of teaching, learning and creative expression. A reverse ranking approach was used for the second round in which each Advisory Board member was asked to eliminate just one technology from each of the three adoption horizons. This process, given the toungue-in-cheek name of "Survivor – Horizon Edition" resulted in the final selections that appear in the 2006 Report. The process is further described here in the email instructions sent to the Advisory Board.
