During the spring and summer of 2011, JISC sponsored a study by the New Media Consortium as part of their Horizon Project which produces a series of widely-read Horizon Reports. “Technology Outlook: UK Higher Education” is the principle output from this study.
“Technology
Outlook” explores the impact of emerging technologies on teaching,
learning, research or information management in UK tertiary education
over the next five years, as identified by the Horizon.JISC advisory
board. That group of experts is comprised of an international body of
knowledgeable individuals representing a range of diverse perspectives
across the learning sector. The study involved several stages of
discussion and refinement of description of potentially influential
technologies, their time-lines and impact.

In most countries some form of secondary education is compulsory. Tertiary education refers, in most settings to non-compulsory education provided via a specialist institution, usually labelled as a college, polytechnic, technikon, or university (with variants of these in other languages). Tertiary education may be delivered virtually or at a distance.
It is not always clear, though, what tertiary education includes. Is it only that which results in a formal qualification or might it include leisure classes? In the UK, are A-levels tertiary education as they are post-compulsory but taught in school settings as well as colleges? Is professional updating or on-the-job training part of tertiary education, even if it does not follow successful completion of secondary education?
Tertiary education is, in most countries, a wider and rather more vague term than higher education, encompassing what in England, for example, is called further education as well as higher education
