The New Digital Shoreline

How Web 2.0 and Millennials Are Revolutionizing Higher Education

Beschreibung

Two seismic forces - the advent of Web 2.0 and the inexorable influx of tech-savvy Millennials on campus - are shaping the "The New Digital Shoreline” of higher education. Failure to adapt poses a major threat to higher education as we know it. This argues for nothing less than a reinvention of higher education to meet these new realities, calling for a complete rethinking of our practice of teaching to meet the needs of this emerging world and envisioning ourselves as connected, co-learners with our students.
