The title, "Is Online Technology the Hope in Uncertain Times for Higher Education?", provides the purpose of this volume, which is to offer insights into the future of higher education in light of significant advances in online technology that affect all human endeavors. These advances have evolved as a result of the natural development of new technologies as provided by global corporations, the aftereffects of the COVID pandemic, and recent advances in artificial intelligence that portend to redefine how organizations will function in a new world order. Thirty-one experts offered their research as a basis for considering the question posed in this volume. From their work, it is clear that colleges and universities are rapidly migrating to online technology in order to support instruction, research, counseling, academic services, and administrative efficiency. As this migration evolves, consider what Drew Faust, the former president of Harvard University, has stated: "As the landscape continues to change, we must be careful to protect the ideals at the heart of higher education, ideals that serve us all well as we work together to improve the world."
