I was fortunate enough to catch Laurence Johnson’s presentation at the Eduserv Foundation Symposium 2008 on Thursday 8th May.

Laurence is Chief Executive Officer of the New Media Consortium (NMC), an international consortium of more than 200 world-class universities, colleges, museums, research centres, and technology companies dedicated to using new technology to inspire, energize and support learning. The NMC produces, as part of its Emerging Technologies Initiative, an annual Horizon Report which charts the landscape of emerging technologies. Laurence’s presentation explored emerging patterns from five years of Horizon Reports.

Laurence’s presentation, “Metatrends: The Horizon Project at Five Years”, can now be viewed online here.

The web version of the 2008 Horizon Report can be viewed here. The report can also be downloaded as a PDF document here.
