NMC Horizon Report: 2017 Higher Education Edition

This NMC Horizon Report series charts the five-year impact of innovative practices and technologies for higher education across the globe. With more than 15 years of research and publications, the NMC Horizon Project can be regarded as education’s longest-running exploration of emerging technology trends and uptake.  Six key trends, six significant challenges, and six developments in educational technology profiled in this report are poised to impact teaching, learning, and creative inquiry in higher education. The three sections of this report constitute a reference and technology planning guide for educators, higher education leaders, administrators, policymakers, and technologists. These top 10 highlights capture the big picture themes of educational change that underpin the 18 topics:

·         Advancing progressive learning approaches requires cultural transformation

·         Real-world skills are needed to bolster employability and workplace development

·         Collaboration is key for scaling effective solutions

·         Despite the proliferation of technology and online learning materials, access is still unequal

·         Processes for assessing nuanced skills at a personal level are needed

·         Fluency in the digital realm is more than just understanding how to use technology.

·         Online, mobile, and blended learning are foregone conclusions

·         Learning ecosystems must be agile enough to support the practices of the future

·         Higher education is an incubator for developing more intuitive computers

·         Lifelong learning is the lifeblood of higher education
