Over the past decade, the undergraduate abstract algebra classroom has undergone a dramatic transformation.. Many faculty who were exposed to new pedagogical techniques during the calculus reform movement, wanted to experiment with those techniques in more advanced classes. A variety of software packages were written or extended for use in abstract algebra. This collection of article is the outgrowth of several gatherings of mathematicians who were interested in discussing the teaching and learning of abstract algebra. The Editors of "Innovations in Teaching Abstract Algebra" have chosen the articles appearing in the volume in order to acquaint readers about various technological innovations, to detail methods of teaching abstract algebra that engage students, and to share more general reflections on teaching an abstract algebra course.
