New Technologies and New Approaches in Higher Education Pedagogy

Guest Editor: Krista P. Terry

As emerging technologies begin to dissolve boundaries between time, place
and space, educators find themselves searching for methods to understand the
attributes and functions of these new media technologies in order to
leverage them toward enhancing the teaching and learning process. Mobile
learning devices have facilitated ubiquitous learning environments that
transcend the traditional classroom boundaries while personal broadcasting
and social computing technologies have harnessed the power of individuals to
create and collaborate through computer mediated environments. The evolution
of these technologies provides educators with both challenges and
opportunities to create rich and engaging learning experiences for their
learners.

This issue will focus on how best to match attributes and features of new
technologies with instructional goals and objectives in order to communicate
with and teach a generated of 'wired', multi-tasking, media-immersed
students. Manuscripts in this issue should focus on (a) the research, theory
and practice of designing effective learning environments that are focused
on the integration of new media technologies, and/or (b) the application of
new media technologies to higher education.

Potential topics may include, but should not be limited to:

    * mobile learning, podcasts, cell phones and tablet computing
    * social learning, folksonomies, networks, and communication tools
    * virtual worlds and gaming environments
    * blogs, wikis and user-generated content

Specific Guidelines:

Finished manuscripts must be submitted by November 1, 2007. Please see the
IJTLHE Submission Guidelines for detailed author guidelines and submission
procedures. For further information or inquiry about this special issue,

PURPOSE OF JOURNAL

The International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (ISSN
1812-9129) provides a forum for higher education faculty, staff,
administrators, researchers, and students who are interested in improving
post-secondary instruction. The IJTLHE provides broad coverage of higher
education pedagogy across diverse content areas, educational institutions,
and levels of instructional expertise. The specific emphasis of IJTLHE is
dissemination of knowledge for improving higher education pedagogy.
Electronic distribution of IJTLHE maximizes global availability.

 

All manuscripts submitted to IJTLHE should be in accord with the journal's
purpose - to encourage the study, development, application, and evaluation
of higher education pedagogy. All manuscripts are refereed (blind) using a
peer-review process involving at least two reviewers. The acceptance rate of
IJTLHE is approximately 25%.

 

TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS

Research Articles: Research articles include 15-25 page manuscripts that are
theoretical or empirical in nature. Research articles are to be well
grounded in the relevant literature and present knowledge, methods, and
insights relevant to higher education pedagogy. The broad scope of the
journal and its diverse readership necessitates that research articles
address issues that have a wide appeal and significance in higher education.

 

Instructional Articles: Instructional articles are 10-20 page manuscripts
designed to explain and clarify innovative higher education teaching
methods. Instructional articles, while grounded in the literature on higher
education pedagogy, focus on the explanation of tentative, emerging, or
alternative teaching methodologies, rather than the strict reporting of
empirical data.

 

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
All submissions to IJTLHE must be made online through the Online Submission
utility. Prior to submitting a manuscript, please read carefully the
Submission Guidelines. Do not send submissions by email or postal mail.

REVIEW PROCESS

Upon submission, all authors will receive an acknowledgement of receipt.
Each manuscript will be blind reviewed by two members of the Review Board.
The review process will take approximately 4-6 weeks. At the end of the
four-week review process authors will be notified as to the status of their
manuscripts.
