**An annual report on Emerging Technologies / Higher
Education**

The annual Horizon Report 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 a
large impact on teaching, learning, or creative 
expression within higher education. The 2007 Horizon Report
is the
fourth edition in this annual series. Again this year,
as in years past, the report reflects an ongoing
collaboration between
the New Media Consortium and the EDUCAUSE 
Learning Initiative (ELI), an EDUCAUSE program.

The core of the report describes six areas of emerging
technology that
will impact higher education within three adoption horizons 
over the next one to five years. To identify these areas,
the project
draws on an ongoing conversation among knowledgeable persons
 in the fields of business, industry, and education; on
published
resources, current research and practice; and on the
expertise of the
NMC 
and ELI communities.
