In a special project commissioned by the Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center (LFTIC) at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, the New Media Consortium is releasing Innovating Language Education: An NMC Horizon Project Strategic Brief. This report aims to inform an unprecedented strategic planning effort to devise technology-supported activities and programs for LFTIC, as well as to aid in decision-making and policymaking across the higher education sector.

Recommendations from the report include:

•   Integrate Design Thinking into Curricula
•   Build Smart Partnerships
•   Enhance the User Experience
•   Foster More Authentic Exchanges Through Collaborative Tools
•   Adopt Data-Driven Approaches

These recommendations are framed by discussions of major trends, challenges, and technology developments in language education, along with key definitions and proofs of concept.
