There is a seemingly never-ending supply of new teaching platforms, technologies, and tools from which to choose. Each ‘season’ (aka school year), we are confronted with more and more options of things we could incorporate into our course design. While many of these are worth the financial and/or time investment, some may be more akin to 1980s bangs: they seemed like a great idea at the moment, but we cringe when we look back at the pictures. This issue is dedicated to helping each other wade through the options, and revisit tried-and-true practices that can be modernized for today’s instructional environment.

Topics to be considered for this issue may include, but are not limited to:

• The Latest Trends: Specific new technologies/platforms and best practices for their use
• Updated Classics: Transforming timeless teaching practices to adapt them to online and hybrid modalities
• Dressing the Classroom for Success:
  • tools/technologies/platforms for increased student engagement
  • tools/technologies/platforms for Assurances of Learning (AOL) assessments for accreditation reports and annual evaluations or tenure review.
  • tools/technologies/platforms for increased test scores/learning metrics
  • tools/technologies/platforms for course management efficiencies (e.g., reducing grading time, providing richer feedback, managing assignment flow)
• Disruptors and Innovators: How to stay ahead of or incorporate student-adopted technology (e.g. Quizlet, ChatGPT, QuillBot, Jasper, GitHub)
• Fast-Fashion and Mass Customization:
  • How to develop or incorporate open access materials
  • How to use non-traditional course materials that are more current, can be updated more quickly, and may better fit course goals
• How to Spot Knock-Offs and Fakes: Addressing Information Literacy
  • Equipping students to distinguish accuracy vs infotainment/opinion
  • Skill development to identify and/or create data integrity
  • Source evaluation for bias, conflict-of-interest, expertise/trustworthiness
