NMC Horizon Report 2014: A must read

Recommended by Richard Elliott in an eLearning Watch 'extra' (which you can subscribe to on his site), is the The NMC Horizon Report: 2015 Higher Education Edition.
A review of the report can be found by clicking this hyperlink . A brief highlight of some of the key aspects of the report is:
"The experts agreed on two long-term trends: advancing learning environments that are flexible and drive innovation, as well as increasing the collaboration that takes place between higher education institutions".
"Regarding the challenges for universities and colleges, improving digital literacy is considered one of the solvable challenges". 
"Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the flipped classroom are expected to be increasingly adopted by institutions in one year’s time or less to make use of mobile and online learning. The time-to-adoption for makerspaces and wearable technology are estimated within two to three years, while adaptive learning technologies and the Internet of Things is expected to be mainstream in universities and colleges within four to five years."
Well worth a read.
