Horizon Report 2011, la movilidad a corto plazo
El Horizon Report publica cada año un estudio de prospectiva internacional sobre las tecnologías más significativas en el campo de la enseñanza y su implantación a corto, medio y largo plazo. En la versión iberoamericana del Horizon Report de 2010 la integración de tecnologías móviles para el aprendizaje se apuntaba como tendencia generalizada en un horizonte a dos o tres años, destacando en aquel momento el proyecto Mobile Learning EOI (pág. 25) como uno de sus aplicaciones más significativas en marcha.
Tan solo un año después, en el Horizon Report 2011 que se acaba de publicar, la movilidad se coloca en primer lugar junto con los libros electrónicos como tecnologías de más rápida asimilación a corto plazo. De ahí extraemos el apartado de proyectos y lecturas relevantes sobre el tema:
