Laurence F. Johnson

The report was one of the leading tools used by senior executives in universities and museums to set priorities for technology planning in those years in more than 160 countries.

Under his leadership, the consortium and its members dedicated themselves to exploring and developing potential applications of emerging technologies for learning, research, and creative inquiry.

The consortium's Horizon Reports, which Johnson founded and directed for more than a decade, are still regarded worldwide as the most timely and authoritative sources of information on new and emerging technologies available to education anywhere.

Johnson has organized summits and large-scale projects around topics such as Visual literacy,[6] learning objects,[7] educational gaming,[8] the future of scholarship,[9] and the 3D web.

His experiential base includes service at both very large and very small institutions and positions at every level and across all the major areas of college and university work.
