On the Horizon: The International Journal of Learning Futures (OTH) is a strategic planning resource for decision makers in the public and private sector and, in particular, education policy makers, administrators, practitioners, and researchers in post-secondary and lifelong learning worldwide.
The journal focuses on the increasingly complex intersection of forces that are impinging on education and learning and to which educators, human resource professionals and all committed to human potential must respond.
Aims and scope
Learning Futures and Emerging Technologies (new name coming 2026) is dedicated to exploring the latest advancements and innovations in the field of education, addressing issues that drive new futures for learning and possibilities for human development.
