Educause 2022 Horizon Report is here! | Teaching and Learning Edition

It's here! And it's pretty frank and to the point. In addition to debriefing us on how we did collectively through the pandemic (and the news is mixed), there are forecasts, key technologies and practices, scenarios, discussion of the implications of what we know (and think we know), and and expert panel from around the globe. Lots to digest! 

The page includes the downloadable report as well as a recorded webinar and other editions of the Horizon Report for those curious about past issues.
