Over its 18-year history, the Horizon Report, originating in the United States, has become an important tool for administrators, academics and practitioners in envisioning future technologies likely to impact higher education and in determining institutional strategy. ASCILITE’s Contextualising Horizon project aims to complement the Horizon Report and provide an Australasian regional lens to trends in educational technologies and practices. Beginning in 2021, Contextualising Horizon is a project aimed to connect members of the ASCILITE community and affiliates to engage in environmental scanning and evidencing the current state of play in higher education and the educational technologies and practices likely to be of importance in the 12-18 months following the process. This paper highlights the process of Contextualising Horizon, key findings, and plans for future iterations of the project.
