The September 2026 issue of Teaching Tomorrow is now available to read. WSU is past the setup stretch and into the full swing of the semester. Rosters have settled, the first rounds of grading are behind you, and by now, you have a pretty good sense of which students are thriving and which ones may need some extra support or encouragement.

This issue is built for exactly that moment. Instead of big-picture course design, it focuses on the small Blackboard features that solve this week’s problems. Whether it be finding the students who’ve gone quiet, making sure feedback is actually being read and handling the flood of one-off requests that always arrives as midterms slowly approach.

There are also a few ARC sessions included that are worth revisiting along with a section on balancing it all as the humdrum of the semester continues on.

Teaching Tomorrow’s August issue is out and ready. It focuses on recapping the Academic Resources Conference (ARC) and the information that you might need most at the beginning of the semester. Included are short video recaps, summaries and links to the ARC recorded sessions.

AI, accessibility and student success are all connected and intermingled in the most recent issue of Teaching Tomorrow. This issue acts as reflection of the recent Academic Resources Conference and explores the tensions shaping higher education and what they mean for how to teach, learn and support students. You will also find sessions and links to the May Academic Resources Conference.

The latest issue of Teaching Tomorrow is here. This month, the focus is on active and applied learning and approaches that invite students to engage, experiment and put ideas into practice. Inside, you’ll find teaching strategies and examples designed to spark curiosity and support meaningful learning experiences.

The March 2026 issue of Teaching Tomorrow is now available. This month’s newsletter highlights ongoing conversations around accessibility, technology and higher education.

The contributors of this month’s issue moved beyond just how to do accessibility and touch on the larger ideas of shared culture and community. Heather Merchant shares how small, intentional accessibility practices can positively impact student learning, while Krystal Iseminger invites readers to rethink accessibility as shared culture. Both pieces offer valuable insights, especially with new ADA Title II changes approaching.

Also included are Blackboard features that spotlight these ideas as well as resources for extending this learning. You’ll find perspectives that connect mindset, technology and accessibility that present practical ideas you can apply in your teaching right away.

February’s issue of Teaching Tomorrow from the Office of Instructional Resources is out now. This month, contributors were asked what it means to have “future-ready pedagogy.” As always, contributors offered up new and intriguing ways of thinking about a theme that may seem straightforward upon first glance.

Teaching Tomorrow’s first issue of 2026 is out now. Classes are underway and campus is humming with students again. This issue provides some resources and links you may find yourself visiting as the semester begins.

One of the goals with this issue is that it provides support and tools for you to use as another busy semester begins. If you would like to get Teaching Tomorrow sent right to your email inbox, email oir@wichita.edu to get added to the mailing list.
