Editorial PLAT 22(1) 2023

Abstract

At the time of publication of this PLAT issue, the onset of the pandemic was more than three years ago. We have learned to live with the coronavirus in a new normal, but the effects of the pandemic continue to be felt. This also applies to the teaching and learning of psychology. Even though we as researchers and instructors greatly appreciate meeting our students face-to-face in the lecture hall and the seminar room again, the past two years leave us with important experiences and impulses. The joint management of this crisis also revealed valuable opportunities for professional networking, interdisciplinary exchange, and accelerated digitalization in education. Once again, this issue of PLAT features articles that explore new digital tools and teaching methods to successfully adapt teaching and learning of psychology to a more digitalized future. In general, we are facing major challenges in many areas of life right now. In a time of multiple crises and rapid changes, our professional psychological expertise is needed more than ever. Therefore, it is even more important that we as instructors constantly strive to further develop teaching and learning and adapt to these changes.
