Rob Reynolds lists "five trends that I am actively watching" along with comments: curriculum, OER learning platforms, learning analytics, smart mobile devices, and ebooks and digital reading. It's interesting to compare Reynolds's list with what Horizon is watching, which (like most) is really mobile-device centric. Not that mobile devices aren't important; I saw an iPhone being used to test blood sugar levels on the news this morning. But, you know, none of the platforms sending data to these devices are mobile, and there is a lot of infrastructure behind the scenes, opaque to an analysis focused on consumer technology. I think Reynolds captures this a bit.
