2006 Horizon Project Wiki

Welcome to the 2006 Horizon Project Wiki. This space was created as a place for the members of the Horizon Project Advisory Board to manage the process of selecting the foci for the 2006 Horizon Report, co-published by the New Media Consortium (NMC) and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI).

All of the discussions, content, and comments that were part of the selection process are included here, and now we have opened the wiki up to the NMC membership to continue the discussions. The menus below will lead you to a variety of resources, news items, discussion areas, links, and more.

Please consider this our collective work area, and feel free to add comments, content, categories, new pages, and lots more resources. You can edit the content of this or any page using the Edit link on the right.

The items in these areas are meant to grow – please add to them liberally from your own readings and environmental scanning – and above all, leave comments!
