Abstract
The web continues to evolve at exponential rates. Today’s technologies will quickly become tomorrow’s old news. RSS, podcasts, blogs, wikis and social networks can no longer be considered emerging technologies. So what new technologies are on the horizon? This presentation will explore the important high-level trends and examine the next generation of web tools that will allow higher education institutions to continue to connect and collaborate with all constituents.
