Two seismic forces beyond our control-the advent of Web 2.0 and the inexorable influx of tech-savvy Millennials on campus-are shaping what Roger McHaney calls ôThe New Digital Shorelineö of higher education. Failure to chart its contours, and adapt, poses a major threat to higher education as we know it.

Roger McHaney is a professor of management information systems and a University Distinguished Teaching Scholar in Kansas State University's College of Business Administration. His areas of research include education technology and training, discrete event simulation, computer-mediated communication systems, and organizational computing. McHaney has published in numerous journals, written textbooks, developed a variety of instructional materials, including ELATEwiki, and has lectured in Australia, China, India, Europe, and New Zealand.
