New Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy

The new Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy is now accepting submissions for its inaugural and future issues.

The journal’s mission is to “promote open scholarly discourse around critical and creative uses of digital technology in teaching, learning, and research”:

Educational institutions have often embraced instrumentalist conceptions and market-driven implementations of technology that overdetermine its uses in academic environments. Such approaches underestimate the need for critical engagement with the integration of technological tools into pedagogical practice. The JITP will endeavor to counter these trends by recentering questions of pedagogy in our discussions of technology in higher education.

In addition to more traditional essays, the journal also invites a number of short-format pieces:  sample assignments or syllabi, tool tips, and “teachable moments” (including teaching failures).

CFP: Journal of Public Scholarship in Higher Education

The newly-formed Journal of Public Scholarship in Higher Education is seeking submissions for its inaugural issue. Find the call for proposals here.

The JPSHE features public scholarship—that is, academic inquiry that forms community partnerships to address shared problems, issues, and opportunities. This kind of scholarship—what many think of as Boyer’s “scholarship of engagement”—involves the community in reciprocal relationships with the university; however, it also serves to discover and disseminate new disciplinary knowledge and/or pedagogical practice.

Call for articles: “Teaching with Technology”

Radical Teacher – a socialist, feminist, and anti-racist journal grounded in radical left politics — is seeking submissions for a special issue on “Teaching with Technology.”

Completed submissions are due September 15, 2010.

Inquiries, proposals, and drafts should be sent to Emily Drabinski, J. Elizabeth Clark and Sarah Roberts, editors, at emily.drabinski@liu.edu.

Excerpts from the call for articles are below:

Call for articles: Currents in Teaching and Learning

Currents in Teaching and Learning, a peer-reviewed electronic journal out of Worcester State College, invites submissions for its Fall 2010 issue, including:

• Short reports from different disciplines on classroom practices (2850 – 5700 words);
• Longer research, theoretical, or conceptual articles and explorations of issues and challenges facing teachers today (5700 – 7125 words);
• Announcements of work in progress and calls for collaborators;

CFP: “Interdisciplinary Pedagogies”

Guest editors Michelle Gibson (U of Cincinnati) and Johnathan Alexander (UC-Irvine) are seeking papers for a special issue on “Interdisciplinary Pedagogies” for the journal Pedagogy.

They are currently accepting proposals for review and will want full drafts by January 31, 2010.

Pedagogy is typically more geared towards the study of literature/language/culture, so this is a special opportunity to bring other (inter)disciplinary perspectives to its pages.

Call for papers: NEFDC Newsletter

The New England Faculty Development Consortium is still looking for submissions to the Fall 2008 edition of its newsletter, The Exchange.  They are specifically seeking articles related to student success and student retention. The deadline for submission is coming quickly: Monday, September 15, 2008.

Articles need to be submitted to Tom Thibodeau via email (tthibodeau@NEIT.EDU) as Microsoft word documents by the 15th.  Length is negotiable (they are seeking articles between 500 to 2500 words). Longer articles may be considered for inclusion as a two part series between the fall and spring newsletters.
