Online learning is a growing phenomenon in education that provides
increased access for educational opportunities for students regardless of
where they live, their background, their family level of income, or how old
they are. While online learning is growing, a number of educational
researchers are examining online learning as a new delivery model that can
stimulate established education models and ensure that data is available to
support innovative and best practices. Exploration and building modern
foundations in online learning are key to growing a body of evidence to
highlight how this modern vehicle is advancing educational practice.
We seek research-based manuscripts that cover the following topics: (1)
innovations in education through online learning, (2) stimulating K-20
learning environments through online learning, and (3) assessments, policy,
funding, and governance models that can advance the ability to innovate
with online learning.
We expect authors to take full advantage of Innovate’s multimedia
capacity; supplementary files that illuminate the text are encouraged, and
we are especially interested in the possibility of featuring "Try it!"
sites that would offer readers hands-on experience with particular online
learning features.
If you would like to submit a manuscript on this topic, please review our
submission guidelines at
http://www.innovateonline.info/index.php?view=submit and send your
manuscript to the guest editors of this issue, Cathy Gunn
([log in to unmask]), and Susan Patrick ([log in to unmask]) and to
the editor-in-chief, James Morrison ([log in to unmask]), no later than
November 30, 2006.
Thanks!
Jim
