The second Horizon Report Iberoamerican Edition: Perspectives on Technology. Higher Education in Iberoamerica 2012–2017, which identifies the twelve technologies that will revolutionise higher education in Iberoamerica in the next five years, was presented at the annual New Media Consortium Summer Conference held at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston from 13 to 15 June. Eva Durall, the project’s coordinator, presented the Report.

In turn, eLearn Center Director Albert Sangrà presented the Report at the Virtual Educa conference held in Panama from 18 to 21 June.

The main aim of the project, which has involved forty-five experts in the use of technology in education from different Iberoamerican countries, is to produce a two-yearly report identifying the emerging technologies likely to provoke change in higher education in Iberoamerica on timescales of between one and five years.

More information on the technologies selected can be found on the project’s blog.
