New Media Consortium. Horizon Report (2004-2008). Retrieved 2008. Annually describes the continuing work of the NMC's Horizon Project, a research-oriented effort that seeks to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have considerable impact on teaching, learning, and creative expression within higher education. Each of the editions of the report highlights several technologies that the underlying research suggests will become very important to higher education over the next one to five years. Horizon Report is an effort of NMC also supported by EDUCAUSE.  New Media Consortium (NMC) is an international consortium of 250 colleges, universities, and museums dedicated to the exploration and use of new media and new technologies. The consortium inspires development of new applications of technology to support learning and creative expression and sponsors programs and activities designed to stimulate innovation, collaboration, and excellence.  EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association of 2,200 colleges, universities, educational organizations, including 250 corporations, with 17,000 active members dedicated to advancing higher education information technology.  EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) is a community that works together to stay on the leading edge of teaching and learning with technology through a focus on learners, interaction and engagement, and learning technologies.
